It must be in writing, signed by the stockholder or member, and filed before the scheduled meeting with the corporate secretary.

Once the general information has been completed, the user will be asked whether the proxy will be for a specific meeting or for a specific period. If the proxy will be for a specific meeting, the user will be asked for the details of the meeting for which the proxy will be valid for such as the place, date, and time of the meeting. The user will also be asked whether the proxy will be valid for any postponements or adjournments of the meeting. If the proxy will be for a specific period, the period of time (in years) when the proxy will be valid will be asked. A proxy cannot be valid for more than 5 years.
Finally, the user will be asked to list the names of the persons who will represent the stockholder or member. If there will be only one proxy, then the full name of the proxy should be entered.
