Re-capping on the title to this blog. The Chairman of the PCC, Baroness Buscombe, instigated an independent review of the governance of the PCC and a panel was formed, under the Chairmanship of Ms Vivian Hepworth, to conduct this review. Submissions were invited for consideration by the panel, the deadline for submissions being the 25th January 2010.
More or less within the same time frame, but otherwise not connected, "The Editors' Code Committee" were holding the annual review of the Code which lays down guide lines to be followed by the Publishing Industry in general. Suggestions in regard, specifically, to this Code were invited, the Secretary of the Editors' Code Committee is Mr Ian Beales.
I submitted my suggestions to the Governance Review Panel and to the Secretary of the Editors' Code Committee. On Friday 05 March 2010 the Governance Review published, on line, the submissions they had received from individuals/organisations who were not averse to their names being associated with their submissions. As far as I am aware the submissions were published verbatim. I wish to comment that, in my opinion, the Governance Review Panel has played with a dead straight bat and that Mr Beales has been totally professional, in his office of Secretary, in handling my submissions.
The submissions can be seen via www.pccgovernancereview.org.uk and the link Submissions Received.
This blog will be continued in "PCC Governance Review Part Two"
