The '''[[ICANN Board]]''' is responsible in exercising the authority of the [[ICANN|Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers]] and controlling its business affairs and properties by virtue of a majority vote by its members present during annual, regular, or special meetings where there is a quorum. The ICANN board is internationally represented as set forth by ICANN's bylaws, which maintains that at least one director represents each geographic region (Europe, Asia/Australia/Pacific, Latin America/Caribbean islands, Africa and North America) and no region have more than five Directors on the Board.
A member of the Board of Director's primary duty is to act in the best interest of [[ICANN]] and not as representatives of the entities that selected them, their employers, or any other organizations or constituencies. A list of the current Board of Director's can be found [[ICANN_Board#Current_Board_of_Directors|here]].
