I am all in favour of goiing fully electronic.

I understand that proxy voting allows people to delegate their votes, which is a great thing: Here, I don't have the (time|expertise|whatever) to decide on my vote, but I trust the judgement of this other colleage; I'll give him my vote trusting he will use it well. This allows for higher and more qualified participation, and it would be a step back to lose it.

I think proxy voting in the past was used in two cases, one is the one you described, but more commonly to be able to vote if you are not present.

The last one is easily replaced by electronic voting.
The other could be handled by electronic voting - and a request to the trusted collegue; please tell me who to vote for.

Or by a delegation/proxy mechanism in the voting system.
You could do it today indirectly by registering the person you delegate to in the LIR portal and let him/her sign up to vote for that LIR too. ( I did this at the last election as the company I work for currently operates two LIRs.)

Sincerely,
