To join the Annual Meeting electronically, please use the following web link:
meet.google.com/xst-qfra-cch

Or call: 413-338-0028
PIN: 506 194 966#

Additional detailed instructions, as well as agenda items and reports, shall be distributed prior to the meeting date and time via this discussion thread.

I don't know if it's the right place to report it but I only got the letter with the proxy this morning although it had been mailed  March 31. I don't how things go as regards the mail in the US but out here it's a bit tricky, to put it midly, I wish I could take part in the annual meeting but obviously it's far too late to mail it back. Hopefully I'm the only far away member in that situation.  Anyway I'm going to try to join the meeting through Google.

Alain, if you have a way to scan your ballot, you can send it via email and they will still count it. Sent it to me at mike.fox@wwfry.org and I'll take care of it for you.

Or if you don't have a scanner, just use a camera/phone to take a digital photo and email that.

Hello Mike and Graham. Thank you so much for allowing me to e.mail my proxy. I took a pic with my camera and sent it to Mike 10 minutes ago.
