Yep... Which clearly refers to POLICY and not to Elections which is the
only role a DMR really has.

You can't designate a proxy for POLICY matters which is what the context
of the rest of my post made pretty clear.

Additionally you can't really appoint a PROXY for your DMR, so much as  
you can
appoint anyone you chose AS your DMR.

Sure, in elections. However, since the discussion was about how to
affect POLICY discussions and "votes", the DMR is a rathole to the
original discussion and really has nothing to do with the subject.
