The Yahoos at Sun Valley SUN VALLEY, Idaho - There are plenty of Yahoos at Allen & Company's annual pow-wow here this year. The Internet company's co-founder Jerry Yang and his daughter were spotted rushing to the children's playpen on Wednesday. CNBC managed to lob a few questions to the ex-chief Terry Semel on Tuesday. And David Goldberg, another former Yahoo executive, is attending the conference with his wife Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook. But one person who has yet to show is the maybe-soon-to-be C.E.O., Ross Levinsohn, the interim head who is still waiting to hear whether he will get the top spot permanently. There had been speculation that the Yahoo board would finalize its choice this week and an announcement could be made at its annual meeting on Thursday in Santa Clara, Calif. But the board is unlikely to name its pick on Thursday, according to people with knowledge of the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the discussions are private. AllThingsD had previously reported that it is unlikely that Yahoo's board will finalize its choice this week. Mr. Levisohn, the extroverted advertising veteran, is expected to make his way to Idaho late Thursday, these people said. While Mr. Levinsohn has not exactly hidden his ambitions for the top job since taking the interim title in May, those close to him say that he could easily find a soft landing at another media company if the Yahoo board goes in a different direction. And what better place to schmooze with media moguls, than Sun Valley? As the Yahoo saga drags on, some former executives in Sun Valley seemed to be content to be outside the eye of the storm. In 2008, Mr. Yang was spotted with his head buried in his hands by the Sun Valley Inn duck pond during the Allen & Company conference, frustrated as Microsoft was courting Yahoo. When DealBook asked Mr. Yang if he missed the drama on Tuesday, he was quick to change the subject. I know my daughter is excited about being here.
