1.11.2. If the details of a vote are known ahead of time, the Proxy Giver may instruct the Proxy Holder how to vote and the Proxy Holder is honour bound to follow those instructions. Such a Proxy is known as a Directed Proxy. If no specific instructions are given (an Undirected Proxy) the Proxy Holder may vote as he/she wishes.
1.11.3. An Undirected Proxy may be given to cover some or all votes to be held in a given meeting.
1.11.4. A Member may receive Proxies from no more than two other Members.

3.2.2. The ALAC and At-Large will have a variety of E-mail mailing lists to allow easy communications amongst ALAC Members, Appointees, WG members RALOs, and members of At-Large.
3.2.3. To ensure that these lists are used properly and have the correct membership lists, the ALAC will from time-to-time publish a guide to its mailing lists.
