<quote>
Lynn said the transition board that will be set up to map ICANN's future will include all nine at-large board members, except for Phil Davidson, whose term is expiring. Two new board members will be added.

He left open the idea of returning to online elections in the future, but said for the time being limited participation and other difficulties ruled it out.

ICANN WILL KEEP ELECTED BOARDS MEMBER, FOR NOW
Following months of vocal protests, the Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) said it will keep the five members
of its board of directors who were chosen through open elections. M.
Stuart Lynn, president of ICANN, said the organization would not rule
out the possibility of conducting global, online elections for future
board members, but that the process of doing that is "very, very
difficult, and expensive." Karl Auerbach, one of the five board members
chosen in the open elections, said ICANN is clearly bowing to the
pressure it faced from communities around the world who want
representation with ICANN. Lynn dismissed those comments, saying the
organization will set up a transition board that will plan the group's
future and will include eight of nine at-large members. Phil Davidson,
the ninth at-large board member, will leave when his term ends.
