But, to be an outspoken critic of some of
the policies and procedures of the EAA is to be relegated to some little
pipsqueak that is crushed by the "proxy" system.

How *does* EAA's proxy system work?

The "normal" method is for members to vote and if they choose not to vote
then their votes are decided for them by proxy.
Seems like EAA forgot about members being allowed to choose their own votes
(if the minutes from the annual meeting are indicative).
