The BGC makes some very specific recommendations concerning the role  
of voting in the new structure. We should consider the impact of the  
move towards strategic management and away from voting. If the  
process works well, the issue of proxies should be a moot point.

Isn't now the time to start thinking along these lines rather than  
continuing to build out the adversarial structure that we are mired  
in now?

We have the BGC recommendations - let's focus on making them work.

For the record, I will not vote in favor of any motion to modify our  
voting porcesses in advance of the implementation of any of the  
recommendations of the BGC WG report that we agree to implement.
