If a voting committee member is not present at an ordinary committee meeting and doesn't give another committee member their proxy, are there any circumstances under which they can still vote on a motion put forward at that meeting?

A voting member must be present or appoint a proxy, they are unable to vote before or after a motion to be resolved at the committee meeting. Some flexibility may be possible in defining what ‘present’ at a meeting means – it should be fine for a member to attend by telephone or zoom if they can’t be in physical attendance.
