Hi Lisa,

as we had recently an article about a project to switch from in-person 
meetings of the collections committee to discussing and voting 
electronically at the Royal BC Museum (A New Look for Museum Collection 
Committees, http://world.museumsprojekte.de/?p=4068), you might consider 
to contact the author (and registrar who was the designer of that 
system) Derek Swallow 
(http://world.museumsprojekte.de/?page_id=76#Derek) for some insights.

Best wishes
Angela
