Two proposals asking the board to adopt an anti-censorship policy and to pay more attention to human rights in markets where it is active (specifically China) have been rejected by stockholders.
From yahoo’s press release: “Stockholders also voted against a proposal relating to Internet censorship, with 54,531,125 shares voting for, 889,546,203 shares voting against and 102,018,256 shares abstaining. A proposal offered to amend Yahoo!’s Bylaws to establish a Board committee on human rights failed, with 41,874,370 shares voting for, 932,055,232 shares voting against and 72,165,982 shares abstaining.”
