This is the BOARD of the corporation. These are directors, not officers.
They should NOT be assiging parking places and selecting vendors. Their
job is setting policy.
If the ICANN board is fiddling around with detailed administrative
questions, we should know about it. So, yes, ICANN board meetings
devoted to this sort of question should be open, so that we can remind
them forcefully what their job is: setting policy.
