I don't think they do. The last item in the list says:
"... any single person *may* not be a proxy for more than one council
member at any given meeting." (my emphasis)
Obviously this isn't an optional "MAY" but a requirement. (And IMHO the
meaning is clear, so no need to reword it.)

This would imply that leads could also be selected by somebody else?

Not sure. I have tried to do minimal changes, i.e. clarify things where
it's necessary, but leave the rest of the wording alone.
How about this then:
| * It is recommended that a project has at least one lead. The leads
| are selected by the members of the project. This selection must
| occur at least once every 12 months, and may occur at any time.
