The Trust exchanged views with the Executive on these recent developments. In particular, members noted the difficult commercial environment that all broadcasters were currently experiencing The Director-General updated the Trust on progress towards developing potential partnerships between the BBC and the broadcasting sector. These partnerships were first mooted in the BBC s response to Phase 1 of the Ofcom review process The Trust noted the progress that had been made in developing the partnership proposals. The Executive Board would present a more developed proposal to the Trust for consideration in coming months. Members requested that the final proposal be placed in a context where any new proposals would sit alongside an outline of what the BBC already provides to the wider industry. 136 COMMERCIAL STRATEGY REVIEW: UPDATE David Liddiment declared an interest in this item. See minute The Director-General provided an update to the Trust on the developing thinking behind the review of the BBC s commercial operations, which had been commissioned to report to the Trust and the Executive Board Following approval of the BBC s strategic plan, Delivering Creative Future, the commercial review had been initiated to provide a re-assessment of BBC Worldwide s strategy and governance. The review would ensure alignment between the BBC s public service strategy and commercial activities Members discussed how the BBC Worldwide strategy and mandate best align with the BBC s public service interests and the relationship between the BBC s commercial activities and its public purposes. Members noted the value that the BBC s commercial activities returned to licence fee payers The Trust agreed that all of the BBC s activities including its commercial activities must be held to a high standard and be underpinned by the BBC s public purposes. Additionally, members agreed that any proposals to amend the Corporation s commercial strategy must ensure the BBC s brand and global reputation are protected. 5
6 136.6 The Trust noted the progress on the review agreeing to continue engagement with the Executive on this topic over the coming months. Members requested that future analysis include a greater focus on potential areas of risk. 137 PERFORMANCE DASHBOARD The Chairman welcomed the Director, Audio & Music and the Director, Future Media and Technology to their first Trust meeting in their new posts. The Directors spoke to the Trust about their plans and aspirations The Trust s Head of Performance introduced the dashboard, which was being presented to the Trust for the first time. He explained that the performance dashboard would be the method by which the Trust would track delivery, every quarter, of the high level objectives agreed as part of Delivering Creative Future. The dashboard would also look at recent performance of the BBC s services and highlight areas for further consideration with the Executive The Trust discussed the performance against the Delivering Creative Future objectives, which were reported for the year to April-June 2008 against a baseline. Members noted that, as expected at this early stage, movement against the baseline was minimal Members discussed the trends in internet usage across the UK and the impact of this on use of the BBC s internet-based services. The Trust agreed to look in more detail at access to the internet and how this impacts on the accessibility of the services that the BBC provides through this technology The Trust discussed the reach of the BBC s radio stations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and also local radio. The Director, Nations & Regions outlined some of the factors impacting on the individual services. Members agreed to return to this topic in the future. Members also discussed some of the challenges facing the DAB radio platform. It was noted that the Executive was thinking about possible approaches to DAB as part of the partnership proposals currently being developed The Trust commended the first of the dashboard reports and noted that the next one would be presented for consideration in December. 138 AMENDMENTS TO OFCOM TIER 2 QUOTAS DIGITAL ZONES The paper from the Executive Board sought the Trust s approval to request changes to the BBC s Tier 2 quotas from Ofcom. The changes sought by the Executive would lower the levels of output required in three of the BBC s nations and regions quotas from The changes were requested to reflect both the impact of digital switchover and the closure of the BBC Two digital zones in Wales and Northern Ireland and changes proposed as part of Delivering Creative Future The Trust agreed the proposed reductions were appropriate and agreed to seek Ofcom s approval of them. 6
7 139 QUARTERLY FINANCIAL REPORT The acting Group Finance Director introduced the report, which provided the financial results for the BBC for the period to July Members noted that the report had been discussed in detail by the Trust s Finance and Strategy Committee (FSC) The Trust discussed the measures that were being taken to mitigate risks in the current economic climate, noting that further work on this would be presented to the FSC and the Trust in later months. The Trust noted the key risk factors and supported the Executive s proposed approach to modelling a range of outcomes The Trust discussed the headline figures, particularly noting the work that had been done to ensure that service licence budgets were being appropriately recorded The chairman of FSC noted the committee would be paying particular attention to the impact of any changes on the objectives agreed as part of Delivering Creative Future. 140 DISTRIBUTION The Executive Board presented two papers to the Trust for consideration regarding the distribution of the BBC s services: the first was a Digital Switchover Coverage Plan and the second was a proposal to change the transmission mode used for digital terrestrial television The Trust noted that the BBC s agreement with the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport required it to ensure that the coverage of the digital terrestrial television (DTT) network after digital switchover substantially matched the proportion of the UK population who received analogue television services. In order to meet this objective the Executive Board had prepared a switchover coverage plan that detailed, among other things, the characteristics of the proposed transmission network. The Trust considered the plan and agreed that it could be submitted to the Secretary of State for approval. The Trust agreed that future updates to the technical parameters and details of the switchover timetable could be notified to the Trust Unit The Executive Board also sought permission to change the transmission mode for multiplex 1, which was gifted to the BBC. The change in transmission mode would ensure that both the multiplexes used by the BBC would continue to abide by the same technical standards and offer viewers a consistent experience. The Trust agreed that transmission from Multiplex 1 could be changed to the 8k transmission mode in keeping with the same change to the Ofcom-licensed Multiplex B. 141 REMUNERATION REPORT Members discussed the governance arrangements and strategy for remuneration of executive members of the Executive Board, noting the respective responsibilities of 7
8 the Trust and Executive Board s Remuneration Committee The Trust agreed to changes to the internal reporting and oversight mechanisms for executive remuneration.
