Martin,
Votes can be done as PGP signed e-mails. These e-mails can be published on web site or sent to all interesting people via e-mail. So everyone can check their votes are counted right. As anybody can check PGP signs, it is not a problem voting through RIPE NCC web site.
P.S. Remember the board elections: people put ballots inside a hat,

a few guys went out with the hat, did something (probably counted ballots) and said the result. So the current voting system already not better than voting through the LIR portal ;)
Well, they didn't leave. They were in the back of the room.

I just stated by personal preference and reasoning. Do what you want from there :) I know what I'm voting for, if it comes up to a vote.
Problem is it will probably brought for a vote at the next AGM where it will be defeated since the 50 LIRs who attend probably won't want their vote diluted by the unwashed masses.
Actually, I think you are pretty wrong there. There was a few proxies at the meeting and there's quite a bit of interest to make it possible for more people to vote between the people that actually show for the AGM. Don't make such assumptions if you don't know, whats going on at the AGM. Show up for the AGM.
