COMCAST CORP

This proposal requests that the Board adopt a formal policy (and amend governing documents as needed) to separate the offices of Chair and CEO and to require that, whenever possible, the Board Chair be an independent director. It permits the Board to appoint a temporary non-independent Chair while searching for an independent Chair and also requests that the Chair not be a former CEO. The supporting statement cites governance research and proxy-advisor commentary arguing that combining CEO and Chair roles can weaken board oversight and that independent chairs or separate chairs are a growing practice. The proponent is the National Legal and Policy Center and the proposal includes citations to external studies and proxy-advisor guidance as rationale.
