eShares is an interesting solution but with so many parties involved (company, lawyers, several investor groups) how do you get one person to drive the solution? My experience is that something like that may be rocking the boat a little bit

The physical holding of a stock certificate is a dangerous thing. If you are an investor in a company that gets sold or goes public (and you have to surrender your shares) and misplace them, it is an expensive mess, even in Delaware.
