    It is no surprise that ICANN has kept all nine non SO Board members.

    No doubt they would like Karl gone but if ERC tried to choose some at large directors to stay and some to go they would attract a firestorm of criticism and totally undermine confidence in any future nominating committee.

    Now next option would be to have all five at large directors go. However it would be politically untenable to remove them and leave in place the four original unelected directors or board squatters.

    So if one wants Karl to go you have to remove all nine non SO Board members and that would leave the Board too small so they have kicked for touch and left them all there.

    No, I don't think you will.

    I think you will see the transition board, probably without Karl as I think he'll resign in protest, until the nominating committee is in place.

    You will then see the nominating committee nominate almost all of the existing board members (without the elected members), under the reasoning that they've done a good job to date, and there is no reason to let them go now and lose their experience.

    Realise, please, that I do not agree with this logic, but it is how I expect ICANN to proceed.
