Nomination time

Minutes of the BBC Board's Nominations Committee from 20th January reveal they - Samir Shah, Damon Buffini, Muriel Gray, and Caroline Thomson - chose Rhodri Talfan Davies as "the outstanding candidate" to be interim DG. 

They also decided, rather oddly, to appoint Chris Jones, an existing non-executive director to the Editorial Standards and Guidelines Committee. A wise man, no doubt, but an accountant. 

Then Dom Loehnis and Helen Crowley of headhunters Egon Zehnder joined the meeting for a discussion of the 'longlist' of potential candidates to replace Tim Davie.  Come on, guys, 'long' ?
