"
The DMR must have a name and personalized e-mail address on record with
the Member Services Department to be eligible to vote. The e-mail must
include the person's name or initials and the organization's domain name.

Only subsidiary organizations or similar seem to be aggregatable into a
single DMR account, allowing them to be voted simultaneously as desired.

This really does make it inconvenient to be the recipient of a bunch of
proxy clients.

Perhaps that is as it should be.

This is as it should be, if you are not able to put out enough signal
for the AC to be able to receive it, you probably are not in close
enough range.
