I have never commented here before, but why the need for a physical AGM? Incorporated companies have been having online AGMs for years now. It may be necessary for a small group of people to be sitting in a room together, but the voting members don't necessarily need to be. There may be a hugely compelling reason why this is necessary, but that's just my thoughts,

First, welcome, and thanks for your contribution! Hope it will be the first of many :)
All members will get an opportunity to vote electronically on all the resolutions and voting for the new Board members, even if they can't physically turn up on the day. I hope we can find some way of involving people remotely in the meeting as well - perhaps through a videocam - does anyone know what Wikimania does for this?
There are advantages in having in person meetings as well, though - it gives us an opportunity to discuss things more informally and get to know each other more that you can with an online meeting.
