I found where it says that proxy voting is not allowed on RONR pp. 428-429. But nowhere in that section does it say that the rule can't be suspended.

If it can't be suspended, what can be done? What if many of the present members of those assembled would like to see proxy voting happen just for that meeting, due to what they see as unusual circumstances?

Ordinarily, our organization does not allow proxy voting. "The number of votes necessary for election/confirmation is a majority of those present and voting. The number of voting members is then determined and the actual number of votes necessary for election is announced," is what our rules state.

But, due to a scheduling conflict, an unusual number of members will be absent from our annual meeting, and I have been told that someone might want to suspend our rules just for that meeting to allow for proxy voting. How might that be accomplished? Would Suspend the Rules do the trick? That would take 2/3, correct?
