Gover-nando's

No tipis, motivational speakers or barbecues for Patten and the Krollster; the BBC Trust's big two-day meeting was held in 180 Great Portland Street on 24/25 April, with an agenda so dour that Lords Hall and Patten must have welcomed the chance to skip out for a light grilling by the good-natured MPs that form the DCMS select committee (presumably at risk as much as the Department brief they monitor).

And at the end of the two days with nary a mention of DMI, the Trustees had to hold up the Gilded Mirror of the UK Corporate Governance Code, and look themselves (and their nostrils flaring with the aroma of Peri-Peri Prego Steak Rolls wafting up from Nando's) firmly in the Weeping Eye of Board Self Evaluation.

There's something rather poignant about the minute: The Trust noted the outcomes of its board evaluation exercise and discussed how to report these in the BBC’s Annual Report for 2012-13. Surely just put the lot online ?
