Meeting requests not yet deleted

There were no helpful diagrams in yesterday's review of governance at the BBC. Lord Hall has promised to close down the work of 36 out of 56 pan-BBC boards, but the only one named so far is the DG's Finance Committee. Apparently any meaningful decisions currently taken by the 36 unnecessary meetings will be re-distributed to individuals - again, names and job titles would be useful. The Trust, for its part, said it would have fewer formal regular meetings with Executive members, accepting more information by quarterly reports, but it hasn't said which sub-committees are to close.

It's clearly a document that you can read anyway you like. Tony Hall's view? "From now on, the Executive Board will be the key decision-makers, and will ensure that Worldwide and the public service work together properly." Lord Patten? "The trust will set short, medium and long term objectives and publicly hold the executive to them".  How short is short, and when do short-term objectives morph into micro-management ?

For all the avowed love of transparency at the Trust, and published, but as yet un-re-written protocols (come ON, Kroll), there's no organogram on its site, though there is a list of eight sub-committees. The best diagram I can find was submitted to the Lords Communications Committee in 2011. We need to see more crossing out.
