Doesn't this really beg the first question? While in a few instances it would be good to have an active BoD, in general though isn't it better that they remain dormant?  Sometimes you have to be careful what you ask for. Kind of like poking a sleeping cavebear with a stick.

And don't forget that the coin with which we paid for the "ombudsman" was the 
loss of publicly elected members to the ICANN board of directors.

A real director, one who takes his/her job seriously, understands that part of 
his/her obligation is to inquire into how the corporation is behaving and to 
consider whether corrective action is needed.

And unlike a hireling ombudsman, a Director has statutory rights to make such 
inquiries - as ICANN learned in court when they tried to deny a Director's 
statutory rights.
