Since the start of the pandemic it has become commonplace for many regular academic conferences to be either wholly virtual or hybrid. In the case of CS, in which many members find it inconvenient and/or costly to travel to a meeting, we would hopefully attract a significantly greater number of attendees if we adopted a hybrid approach.

Hello David long time no see
I also was wondering about new formats. At virtual meetings, do proxy votes still feature. If so, there are problems when motions are amended.
Even without proxies, for these big issues even if everyone can see what's been amended it's all a bit quick for those who have come cold.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any protocols (or system of managing) that allowed motions to be debated online; I was thinking in a way that's more organised than a very long pile, of which most people see a short window.
This would allow motions to be amended and considered at a speed to include those coming from different levels of prior awareness.
Cheers
