Subject: Re: Berkshire Proxy: How I voted
After reading this long thread on the qualifications for serving on Berkshire's BOD, I have a question.

Do you scrutinize BOD candidates for all the companies you invest in as carefully as you do BRK's or is BRK an exception?

I suspect more than half the BOD candidates of most companies would not qualify on the criteria advocated. Of course most companies don't have any unique culture that needs to be preserved.

And it is not unusual for descendants of founders to be on the BOD, due to significant shareholding.

For all companies I am invested in, the only proposal I always vote against management's recommendation is share-based compensation.
