Wrong?... maybe is not wrong, maybe we need to understand that not 
everybody can travel "some kilometers" to be in "some meetings".

Yes this is the better way, but the proxy system, can be usefull, to 
explain some "group ideas" in a meeting, sometimes we can think the 
similar, and if someone can't be in the meeting coul give "his proxy" to 
someone who thinking in similar way.

We have problem's with this system, and the biggest problem is create "some 
blocks" of position... but the similar happend in online voting.

Do you think a proxy system is a a "blind vote"??? i don't think so. But is 
your opinion and i have a different opinion.

I vote by myself, but i can trust in someone, because the "proxy" is not 
only for vote, is a person who "tell me after" what happend in the meeting.
