3 ISS notes their prior guidance has favored a "hybrid" structure (physical meeting combined with virtual participation) over virtual-only meetings; however, most ISS benchmark policies (including those applied to U.S. companies) do not recommend votes against companies who hold virtual-only meetings. In those scenarios where ISS benchmark policies do discourage virtual-only meetings, ISS will alter the application of those policies to oppose voting recommendations against companies holding virtual-only meetings until it is safe to hold in-person meetings again.
