Q: What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?

A: In the election of directors, the ten persons receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes at the Annual Meeting will be elected.

The affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal is required to approve (1) the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, (2) the amendment to our 2004 Stock Plan to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable thereunder by 6,500,000 shares, (3) the stockholder proposal regarding Internet censorship, and (4) the stockholder proposal regarding the creation of a Board Committee on Human Rights.

If you hold shares beneficially in street name and do not provide your broker with voting instructions, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes.” Generally, broker non-votes occur on a matter when a broker is not permitted to vote on that matter without instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given. In tabulating the voting result for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered votes cast on that proposal. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any matter being voted on at the meeting, assuming that a quorum is obtained. Abstentions are considered votes cast and thus have the same effect as votes against the matter.
