Interesting split in the closely watched facial recognition technology resolutions. Proposed ban on sale of facial recognition tech to governments got just 2%. A separate proposal that would have recommended a study of the risks of that same tech got 28%.

The Amazon employees who'd pushed for the company to disclose climate change plans and fossil fuel reduction came away with 31%, higher than prior shareholder proposals on sustainability or climate.

ht to @KYWeise for the 'votes, ex-Jeff Bezos' thought * 1st tallies in my table exclude abstentions. Amazon, officially, counts those as "no" votes. (And a proposal to change that got crushed) In most cases, abstentions cut 'yes' share by less than 1 pct. point.

and concise resolution titles! that's why you get to edit. also, good to note the all-important ratificaiton of Ernst and Young LLP. The green eyeshaded lads of Britain are safe for another year.

I chose to use "outstanding and entitled to vote" share count as the denominator, because presumably that is the full universe of ownership that could have voted -- though with some effort required in the case of the 85m broker non-votes.

I understand the logic, but I don't think that's the threshold to actually pass under the shareholder bylaws, but by all means correct me if I'm wrong.
