First, welcome, and thanks for your contribution! Hope it will be the first of many :) All members will get an opportunity to vote electronically on all the resolutions and voting for the new Board members, even if they can't physically turn up on the day. I hope we can find some way of involving people remotely in the meeting as well - perhaps through a videocam - does anyone know what Wikimania does for this? There are advantages in having in person meetings as well, though - it gives us an opportunity to discuss things more informally and get to know each other more that you can with an online meeting.
