I don't think we're going to glean much from the minutes of BBC Executive meetings from now on. Those from May - Tony Hall's "first full meeting" - have just been published, and whilst he said he was keen to enourage open debate about a few big topics, very little of it is written down.

Here's the sum total on one major issue - "The Board discussed closure of the Digital Media Initiative project, lessons learned and associated costs."

There is some fun though - the minuter offers a mischievous agenda title. "End to End Digital".

Reading between the lines, getting the BBC's position straight on commercial activities and international services is still proving difficult, and the strategists have much more thinking to do; and diversity targets, certainly for staff with disabilities, are a continuing problem.
