The Board deliberations is like the Curia choosing the next Pope. Well,

Nice analogy...
Or as I put it back in 2001:
ICANN, despite its claims to the contrary, is extremely secretive.
We know more about how the College of Cardinals in Rome elects a Pope than we do about how ICANN makes its decisions. As a member of the ICANN board I have been surprised at how often I learn of ICANN actions from outside third parties. And I have perceived a very strong resistance on the part of ICANN's staff to opening its activities, even to members of ICANN's Board of Directors.
