This excerpt taken from the SIRI DEF 14A filed Nov 4, 2008.
Compensation Considerations
 
In making compensation decisions with respect to each element of compensation, the Compensation Committee considers the competitive market for executives and compensation levels paid by comparable companies. The Compensation Committee from time to time reviews the compensation practices at companies with which it competes for talent, including radio, television, cable, film, software development, consumer electronics and other publicly held businesses with a scope and complexity similar to ours. The Compensation Committee has not established a defined peer group against which it benchmarks compensation. The businesses chosen for comparison may differ from one executive to the next depending on the scope and nature of the business for which the particular executive is responsible.
 
The Compensation Committee does not attempt to set each compensation element for each executive within a particular range related to levels provided by peers. Instead, the Compensation Committee uses market comparison as one factor in making compensation decisions. Other factors considered when making individual executive compensation decisions include individual contribution and performance, reporting structure, internal pay relationship, complexity and importance of roles and responsibilities, leadership and growth potential.
