At that time, the [[ICANN Board]] responded to mounting pressure regarding conflicts of interest and the notion that compensation would create a more professional and accountable body by awarding themselves a $35,000 annual salary.<ref>[http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/12/13/icann-board-dec-minutes ICANN Board Dec Minutes, news.dot-nxt.com]</ref>
