Except if you want to put in some checking in order to make sure that people
don't vote multiple times under different E-Mail addresses, that the address
is not fake, and all other things that, if not done, will be blamed
afterwards on ICANN for not having been done.
Moreover, when it comes to voting, I would not assume that we have only the
couple of thousand people that participate even in a limited way in the
debate. The temptation to enroll few hundred identities to capture some
seats is a real threat.
BTW, thank you for reminding once again that the number of people involved
in the debate so far has been so small.
