According to "Broadcast Tech" website, here,

"The government has backed a proposal for the BBC to adopt a Technology Advisory Board (TAB) and called on the broadcaster to undertake a detailed review and cost-benefit analysis of all its R&D activity.


The government supports the idea of the TAB but believes it is for the BBC to decide how to take it forward and “how to ensure a board membership that reflects the wide range of technology sectors the BBC impacts”.

The proposal comes after a National Audit Office (NAO) report published last week revealed that five out of eight critical BBC projects are behind schedule."
