No - just someone who could sit in lodge. The problem with this is we should not communicate Lodge to Lodge, but Grand Sec to Grand Sec, so when it happens - I need to write to my Grand Sec and my Grand Sec writes to his Grand Sec, who might have to write to his lodge, then ..... you get the idea. I've never had to do one myself, but I've seen the applications - the proposer puts down all his details, name, rank, serial number, lodge - all to try to speed it up. Last time it was a grandfather interstate - seen that twice, that seems to always moves fast - but the bros have always been "connected" at either end... the Constitution and application form is pretty silent on all this, so I guess it works by convention in the GL Sec office.. The guy we will initiate in Dec was going to be proposed from New Zealand, but it all looked too hard, so we just did it by dispensation, where GL signed off on a proposer (WM) and seconder (Sec) who do not know the candidate, but he is "proposed by dispensation"....
