[ga] UK: PM Brown appoints GSK CEO and Wellcome Trust Chair to new business council

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  I am very pleased to see there are several of our members so
appointed.  I am a bit concerned that only on woman is on this 
council.  And amazingly enough no one fromGoogle or ICANN.  Hummm?  
Prelude to future attractions? 

Yet I look forward to future consultations.

  From the UK's new PM's office:

Gordon Brown Appoints Business Council

   UK  Prime Minister Gordon Brown has announced the formation of a
 Business Council for Britain.

    The Prime Minister has announced the creation of a Business Council
    for Britain comprising senior representatives of UK-based
    businesses, to advise him on issues that affect enterprise, 
    business and the long term productivity and competitiveness of 
    the economy.

     The Council will be chaired by Mervyn Davies of the Standard
     Chartered bank and will be attended by the Prime Minister and
     Secretaries of State of the main economic departments will attend. 
     Other Secretaries of State will attend the meetings at the 
     invitation of the Council.

      The Council remit will be to:
        * advise the Government on its ongoing policies and priorities;
        * conduct its own reviews on the areas it believes will
          determine the future economic well-being of the UK; and
        * where issues are particularly important, have the power to
           establish Special Commissions to make recommendations for
           reform.

     The full list of members of the council is:
        * Sir Richard Branson: Founder, Virgin Group
