Decision

Ottawa, 24 November 1988
Decision CRTC 88-815
Global Communications Limited
Paris, Bancroft, Ottawa, Uxbridge, Sarnia and Windsor, Ontario -880512900 -880513700 -880514500 -880515200 -880516000 -880517800
Pursuant to Public Notice CRTC 1988-157 dated 19 September 1988, the Commission approves the applications submitted by Global Communications Limited (Global) to amend the broadcasting licence for CIII-TV and its rebroadcasters, by deleting the existing condition of licence:
It is a condition of licence that the Global Board of Directors be composed of thirteen members: five nominees of CanWest (CanWest Communications Enterprises Inc.), five of Seyton Ltd., two independent nominees to be selected jointly by CanWest and Seyton Ltd., and the remaining a nominee of the holders of Units of Global, and that the Commission's approval be obtained prior to making any change to this composition
and substituting therefor:
It is a condition of licence that the licensee obtain Commission approval prior to making any change to the number of members of the Global Board of Directors or to the composition of the Board of Directors.
The Commission hereby approves a decrease in the number of members of the Global Board of Directors from 13 to 12, as noted in Public Notice CRTC 1988-157, which will be composed of: five nominees of CanWest, five nominees of Seyton Ltd., and two independent nominees selected jointly by CanWest and Seyton Ltd.
In approving these applications the Commission noted that effective July 31, 1987 all of the units held by the public were repurchased and are now held by a wholly-owned subsidary of Global. Accordingly, the appointment of the nominee of the holders of these units of Global is no longer necessary.
The licensee is required to submit a report to the Commission within three months of the date of this decision providing details regarding a method to avoid a dead lock situation on the Global Board of Directors. The licensee is also expected to inform the Commission should any disagreements between CanWest and Seyton Ltd. be referred to arbitration pursuant to the Unanimous Shareholder's Agreement.
