Actually, it's something the board has already been considering as a 
future option.

The first step is we have to migrate our membership database from the 
old proprietary system it's currently running on (since it was developed 
in the very early '90's), to something modern and online.  That's 
already in the works.  However, that won't help you for this year's 
renewal, unfortunately!  :)
