I'd actually go one step further and say a "Q&A via mail" is even more 
important then a townhall meeting on IRC, as that is more structured and 
makes it easier for the voters to read than a IRC log.

The way it IMHO should work is something like this: Ask people to send 
in a few questions (question like those that were asked on IRC), collect 
them, merge dupes, pick the most important ones (5 to 8 maybe) and let 
each nominee answer those questions (there needs to be a lenght limit to 
make sure everybody can read all answers in an acceptable timeframe). A 
townhall meeting in addition then might make sense to clarify things, 
but clarifying things via email could work as well.
