SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL
                      REPEAL CLASSIFIED BOARD
                     Submitted by David Massey

BE IT RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Gabelli Global Multimedia Trust, Inc.
("GGT" or the "Corporation") request that the Board of Directors take the
necessary steps to declassify the Board of GGT and establish annual elections
of directors whereby directors of the Corporation would be elected annually and
not by classes.  This policy would take effect immediately, and be applicable
to the re-election of any incumbent director whose term, under the current
classified system, subsequently expires.

                        SUPPORTING STATEMENT

I believe that the ability to elect directors is the single most important use
of the stockholder franchise.  Accordingly, directors of GGT should be
accountable to the stockholders on an annual basis.  Currently, the Board of
Directors is divided into three classes.  Each class serves staggered three-
year terms.  Because of this structure, stockholders may only vote on roughly
one-third of the directors each year.  The election of directors by classes, for
three-year terms, in my opinion, minimizes accountability and precludes the
full exercise of the rights of the stockholders to approve or disapprove
annually the performance of a director or the entire Board.

The staggered term structure of the Corporation's Board is not in the best
interest of stockholders because it reduces accountability and is an
unnecessary anti-takeover device.  Stockholders should have the opportunity to
vote on the performance of the entire Board of Directors each year.  I feel that
such annual accountability serves to keep directors closely focused on the
performance of the Corporation and its top executives and on increasing
stockholder value.  Annual election of all directors gives stockholders the
power to either completely replace their Board, or replace a majority of
directors, if a situation arises which warrants such action.

There are indications from studies that classified boards and other
anti-takeover devices have an adverse impact on stockholder value.  A 1991 study
by Lilli Gordon of the Gordon Group and John Pound of Harvard University found
that companies with restrictive corporate governance structures, including those
with classified boards, are "significantly less likely to exhibit outstanding
long-term performance relative to their industry peers."  See also Council of
Institutional Investors Corporate Governance Policies (Updated May 1, 2009) at
Section 2.1 "Annual Election of Directors: All directors should be elected
annually.  Boards should not be classified (staggered)."

I urge your support for the proposal to repeal the classified Board of Directors
of GGT and establish that all directors of GGT be elected annually.  Thank you.


                     Very truly yours,
