Of course (btw being an active member and being remote is of course possible). We're checking if we can define a framework for online votes, but, anyway, we will need to have physical meetings from time to time (and international gathering of FLOSS developers is a good point). Delegating voting power will be possible too. Anyway, that's were I highlight that "listening" is crux. As you say, we've to find a way that empowers this, but it won't replace goodwill.
