The NC elects members to the BoD. The NC is elected by the constituencies. 
I'd be very interested in who is claiming that the NC would be 
automatically be "appointed" if the constituencies don't elect them. It 
would be quite possible for the General Assembly to elect the NC members as 
well. The bylaws certainly don't include any statement that the NC will be 
appointed if constituencies no longer vote for them.

For more information on this, I suggest you read the ICANN bylaws - they're 
posted at the ICANN site.
