Tom,
Please re-read the statement.
The board: a) acknowledges mistakes have been made b) acknowledges that those mistakes have had a damaging impact c) identified a process (the review) which will not only look closely at what went on, but will produce "clear recommendations which will help us follow best practice in every area of governance".
I think you bring very important insights which can and should help get WMUK to where it needs to be. However I don't think you help people grasp the importance of what you suggest when you take umbrage where it is not necessary.
all the best

The board needs to learn how to write a statement that actually says something...
Apologising for mistakes is meaningless if you don't acknowledge what those mistakes are. This statement comes across as defensive and empty of actual content.
What have you done wrong? What are you doing about fixing the problems caused by those mistakes and making sure similar mistakes don't happen again? That's what people want to know. If you want to wait until the review is complete before going into details, then say that. Don't
.post this kind of meaningless drivel.
