EBay said its board eliminated a supermajority voting requirement, which means most of eBay's outstanding voting stock is needed to change the company's bylaws. That compares to two-thirds of the voting stock before.

EBay's corporate governance and nominating committee recommended that a proposal to declassify the board be submitted at the 2012 annual meeting. If passed, this proposal would mean all EBay directors are up for re-election each year. The current classified board means only certain classes of directors are up for re-election each year.
