Can proxy vote can be counted as quorum?
I am not a parliamentarian and may be completely off-base, but I don't think a proxy vote counts toward a quorum. A proxy vote may work on a given question that comes before the committee, but a quorum is based on members actually present in the room. However, different groups may define quorum differently, and as long as their definition isn't in conflict with applicable law, I suppose a group could define quorum as including any persons submitting votes by proxy.

The question of "how many is a quorum" should be answered in the committee, board, or club's bylaws, with a clause such as "membership present shall constitute a quorum for voting" or some will use a percentage.
