1) Meter stick’s rest frame S’
2) The proper length of an object is the length of the object in the frame in which the object is at rest. Obviously, the rest frame of an object is a frame where all events involving it are happening at the same place.
Therefore, proper length and proper time are defined here in the same reference frame, that of the object at rest.
3) = ’
