No, the EGM is a ratification process of a candidate already selected by the committee. (see rules, p. 57, item 5) 2) are proxy votes allowed, or is it by members present? To date, it has always been members present. 3) is there a fixed counting process e.g. secret ballot, show of hands etc? Previous presidential elections have been by popular acclamation. 4) is there a fixed list of candidates > prior, or can nominations be received from the floor? See (1). Colin was trying to persuade the committee to open the process to members, but as Susan correctly states it is otherwise in the current rules, and the committee feel they have to abide by them.
