As a brand new year comes our way, we have an opportunity to start a whole new chapter. It is a time for us to regain our hope as one year falls off the tree of life and a new one branches out. I believe that the directions and decisions we make in this new chapter will be far more significant and meaningful than we may give it credit for. It is my sincere wish that we will align our courage, determination and sensibility in the directions of achieving our vision, and to rise to the occasion under all circumstances in harmony with each and everyone one of you. Here's wishing you a Meaningful New Year.

8th General Assembly - PROXY APPOINTMENTS
Last updated 2 February 2012 - 2:43pmDate: February 2, 2012
RE: PROXY APPOINTMENTS
Dear Ordinary Members of the RSPO:
We have received many enquiries on the appointment of proxies. As a result, here’s an update:
The Proxy forms will be circulated to each member and published on the website (www.ga8.rspo.org) from February 16th 2012. This timing is dictated by the fact that proxy forms contain the resolutions and nominations which will be finalized by then.
Ordinary Members may either choose to indicate your votes on the specific resolutions stated within the proxy form OR bestow full discretion to the proxy to vote as she/he thinks fit.
An Ordinary Member has 3 options to facilitate the proxy process (to be indicated in the proxy form):
1. To identify and appoint a proxy of your own - may be any RSPO member (Ordinary/Affiliate/Supple Chain Associate) who is able to attend the GA8 in person
2. To appoint an Executive Board member as proxy – list will be provided in the proxy form
3. To appoint the Chairperson of the General Assembly as proxy
We thank you for your commitment to ensure the 8th General Assembly meets the quorum in order for us to pursue our collective vision and mission in promoting sustainable palm oil.
For more information, please contact the Secretariat at +603 2302 1500 or email ga8@rspo.org
Thank you.
Best regards,
Darrel Webber
