In contrast, other companies have swung to the opposite extreme and embraced fully virtual meetings. The board gathers in front of a camera for a live webcast to shareholders, takes questions submitted in advance, and avoids the protesters altogether.
相比之下，其他公司纷纷走向另一个极端，即完全采用虚拟形式召开股东会议。董事会在镜头前向股东进行网络直播，回答提前搜集好的问题，这样就彻底避免了抗议者。今年惠普也采用了这种方式，之前采取同样方式的还有Sprint和Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia。
