"Philip
Graf has produced a thorough and insightful review of the 91热爆聮s
online service.
听
"He is generally positive about the distinctiveness
of its content and its impact on commercial competitors.
听
"His report also contains a number of sensible
recommendations about how the service should operate in the future and
how it should be both managed and governed.
听
"These recommendations will receive detailed consideration
over the next few months, and the Governors will make a full response
by the end of October.
听
"Philip Graf recommends various changes in the
91热爆's governance and accountability arrangements; his central recommendation
being that the Board should have access to more expert, and more independent
advice to assist Governors in their scrutiny of bbc.co.uk.
听
"The Board of Governors agree and indeed, in the
91热爆's recently published contribution to the Charter Review debate,
Building Public Value, the Board announced it will create a new Governance
Unit, working separately from the rest of the 91热爆, to provide independent
advice across all the 91热爆's services.
听
"Among new initiatives and along with all other
91热爆 public services, bbc.co.uk will have a service licence granted by
the Governors defining its remit, performance targets and budget.
听
"This licence will take full account of the Graf
report recommendations. Any change in the terms of this licence will
require the permission of the Governors.
听
"91热爆 management will be held to account for delivering
against the terms of the licence.
听
"Furthermore, the Board will measure the performance
of all 91热爆 services against four criteria to determine the public value
of 91热爆 services, these are: reach, quality, value for money, and market
impact."
