That is the law, CAR 5.40 and CAO 82.3, they are not proposals.

Which bit of "can be performed from a co-pilot’s seat, either directly or by instruction" do you not understand ?
Nothing requires the PIC to occupy a pilot station, in larger operations, check captains are often in the jump seat, with a captain and first officer in the pilot stations. It is totally possible in such a situation for the first officer to log ICUS in the RHS, and the captain co-pilot time in the LHS, and the check captain command time from the jump seat if that what the operator designated.
A co-pilot can state an instruction to the PIC, e.g. "start engine 1". A person conducting ICUS does not physically have to manipulate every control, switch, dial etc.
It is also very common in many airlines that only the captain sets the thrust, and has their hands on the thrust levers until V1. It is totally acceptable for the purpose of conducting ICUS for the first officer to instruct the captain to "set thrust" if that is their SOP. Other examples, setting the bugs on the left hand instruments, DH on the radalt, QNH/standard on the standby, flight control and brake checks.
Again, your statements are not supported by the law.

CASAComs are not ATOG proposals.
"The CASA Communication (CASACom) publication, previously known as the Air Transport Communication (ATCom), has been developed to allow the Civil Aviation Safety Authority to promptly communicate identified safety and operational issues to all Air Operator Certifcate holders."
There are 13 CASAComs currently published, all available online on the CASA website. CASACom 01/09/0 is a controlled document, and "remains current until re-issued, withdrawn or superseded."

The document is totally in line with ICAO Annex 1, it is also the way other countries do ICUS (P1 U/S).
