Maryland has one proxy guideline that specifically refers to directors on the compensation committee:  "Votes should be withheld from U.S. directors who ... are compensation committee members and the company has poor compensation practices".

Subject: [ciidiscussion] Voting against compensation committee directors

CII staff seeks a better understanding of what drives members' votes and what trends to anticipate for the 2014 proxy season. With that in mind:  Do you expect in 2014 to withhold/vote against more compensation committee directors at companies that had poor say-on-pay results in one or more years in the past?  And if so, why?

Thanks very much!

Amy
