Working Groups As Open MIC explores both traditional and emerging digital media, we intend to call heavily on the expertise of individuals with a depth of knowledge and experience in specific media industry segments or fields of interest, organized into multiple working groups. The Open MIC working groups will research, analyze and make recommendations on best practices and principles in the media industry. These working groups will be integral to the future direction of Open MIC’s program activities as the organization moves forward. If you’re interested in joining Open MIC as a member of a working group, please forward a resume or brief bio to Michael Connor, Open MIC’s Executive Director. |

About one-quarter of all Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ) shareholder votes were cast in favor of a proposal that asks the company to report on business risks from Verizon’s controversial FCC lawsuit and other actions to oppose open Internet and network neutrality principles.
A shareholder proposal asking Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ) to issue a report about the risks confronting the company because of its positions on net neutrality and open Internet issues has received support from ISS Proxy Advisory Services, the leading advisor to institutional investors.
The shareholder proposal can be voted on by Verizon shareholders either by proxy over the next two weeks, or in person at the company's annual meeting on May 2.
In response to a shareholder proposal, Apple Inc. has amended its Board’s Audit and Finance Committee charter to include responsibility for privacy and data security risks that confront the company.
The change was praised by advocates as an important step in improving accountability for privacy and data security at the highest levels of corporate governance. “Apple is to be congratulated for recognizing the critical risks that privacy and data security can pose to a company’s financial performance,” said Michael Connor, Executive Director of Open MIC a non-profit organization that assisted investors in drafting the proposal at Apple.
