One interesting aside here is that eBay once again nominated embattled board member Scott Cook, the co-founder and current member of the board at Intuit, to serve another one-year term on eBay's board. Mr. Cook has been one of the many negative focal points of Icahn's PR battle against eBay. Specifically, Icahn takes issues with Cook's presence on eBay's board because PayPal and Intuit compete against one another in some business areas. The obvious conflicts of interest that could arise for Cook's presence on eBays board member serve as yet another example of the many corporate governance issues at eBay that Icahn has railed against in the series of public letters he's recently released. However, eBay is sticking with their man here, and hoping that shareholders will do the same.
