Oops, I lied.  My reading of the draft charter is that it already says
that everybody sends all their votes to everybody, and that the vote
caller does the vote-counting.  Here's what it says:

    Formal calls for a vote ... may be made by electronic mail, or by
    voice on telephone or at a face-to-face meeting. Participating
    Members shall acknowledge receiving the call for a vote within two
    business days of its transmission by making or sending a statement
    of receipt to all of the Participating Members, and shall follow
    such acknowledgment within six business days by transmitting the
    vote to all of the Participating Members.  The Participating
    Member issuing the call for a vote shall then summarize the votes
    and announce the results to all of the Participating Members.

Right now, it doesn't make any difference.  It makes a difference as
soon as both of the following things have happened: (1) we have
adopted our charter, and (2) we have somebody who wants to become a
Participating Member.
