Apple Board of Directors to Meet Next Tuesday to Discuss Schmidt's Replacement
Whoever Apple elects as a director will be closely watched. The current board has been criticized by investors and corporate governance experts for its lack of independence from Mr. Jobs.
One person close to Apple has said in the past that Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook may be appointed to the board in the not-too-distant future. It's unclear whether directors will consider a board seat for Mr. Cook at next Tuesday's session.

(View all)Cook will be appointed to the board if it's decided that he is Jobs heir apparent.
it will be cook, but i hope it is Scott Forestall.could they add another seat?
What if Mark Zuckerburg was on the board? I think having someone involved in the social networking revolution would be an important asset for Apple's future plans.
While I'm not a big fan of his, I don't think an alternative would be any better in this area.
9to5Mac had a poll on this earlier...

No, they're not. However, I think Apple is starting to realize its importance. There's already the rumors about iTunes 9 fraying into the social media area, not to mention iPhoto's involvement already. Perhaps integration into the OS would be the next possibility.
