NEW YORK McCann WorldGroup CEO John Dooner and Interpublic Group co-chairman David Bell will not stand for re-election to IPG’s board next month, as the No. 3 agency holding company moves further toward an outsider board.

News of their board exits emerged from a proxy statement that IPG filed with the Security and Exchange Commission on Friday. The proxy spells out the agenda for the company’s Nov. 14 annual meeting, including a resolution to promptly sell IPG to the highest bidder that a shareholder has proposed and IPG opposes.
