Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen defended the corporate-governance practices of the technology industry and said he recuses himself from boardroom discussions that could involve companies his firm is backing. Mr. Andreessen's comments, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, are his first public remarks on this topic since activist investor Carl Icahn on Monday made him the focus of complaints about conflicts of interest at eBay Inc. Mr. Andreessen has investments in startups that compete with eBay's PayPal unit and was part of an investor group that bought a majority stake in Skype from eBay in 2009. Mr. Andreessen, who is a director on seven boards including Facebook Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co., declined to respond directly to Mr. Icahn's complaints about eBay.
