So the linked news story makes it sound like this document was proposed and accepted:
> At its February annual general meeting a shareholder proposal calling on Apple to publicly commit “to respect freedom of expression as a human right” received more than 40 percent support from shareholders.
> According to The Financial Times, Apple's board of directors approved the policy and published it ahead of a deadline of Sept. 5 for shareholders to submit motions for next year's investor meeting.
When attempting to read the document through the link in the story, I get directed to Reuters who says:
> While it was defeated, it gained 40.6% of votes cast - far more than similar motions put forward previously and enough to push the company to respond, experts said.
So, this sounds like Apple may have published the proposal but still actually declined it?
