The Board has not specifically endorsed the Lynn plan but it has
ignored the findings of its own ALSC (and other groups) and with
barely a pause has killed off any at large board elections which were
a major part of the Lynn plan.

I can't say I get too excited over whether this new ICANN will have
the Board appoint itself or have Govts appoint some of the Board when
the primary decision to wipe out at large representation has already
been taken.
