Getting on with things

Some BBC News staff will be delighted to know that the Executive has approved the detail of an implementation plan to deliver the action plan that follows the recommendations of the Pollard inquiry. Others would prefer that all suits involved, intimately or at a distance, were made to mud wrestle on the Broadcasting House piazza until a victor emerged. He or she would then be appointed interim Head of Cultural Change and Savage Restructuring, until a full Executive "It's a Knockout" session could be properly staged when the weather gets warmer, with James Purnell as referee.

The action plan was discussed at an extra Executive meeting on 18th December 2012, but those minutes have not yet been published.

Other items: The Board approved something to do with games platform Spaceport.io - but we're not told whether Worldwide are putting more money in, or taking it out.  The attendees list for the meeting shows Fran Unsworth attending as Acting Director of News - but, lo, the minutes suggest it was really Helen Boaden who was there, noting the relaunch of World News.
