My understanding of the consensus from the previous meetings was that electronic voting was felt to be not yet widely deployable technology. But we may want to reconcider that with experiences from the ICANN at large election and perhaps from ARINs and APNICs plans.
I would actually argue that electronic voting is preferred because it will allow people unable to participate in RIPE meetings to vote as well.
I agree with you but the trouble we ran into when discussiong this at a previous meeting was that it is easy to define the electorate (who gets to vote)
