Actually, we had a working voting system long ago.
See http://songbird.com/pab/voting.html for a description of the PAB
voting procedure. Probably predates Joop's site, actually.
I should point out that the authentication of email addresses for
PAB was done through the collection of signatures by the ITU. This
was not a foolproof method, of course, but not bad.

Actually, I saw several voting systems on the web when I researched
this a while ago.
