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.
