Women and the size of
HK boards
Webb-site has completed a database on HK-listed boards
since 1990. We begin a series of analyses on board composition, starting with
the number and proportion of women on boards, and the size of boards in response
to changing rules on the number and proportion of "independent"
directors. (13-Sep-2013)

Webb-site opens
airport slot data
HK needs a full debate about how we optimally
allocate scarce resources, whether it is radio spectrum for mobile phones and
broadcasting, or in this case, for takeoff and landing slots at HK's airport. To
facilitate that debate, Webb-site is today decrypting the Civil Aviation
Department's slot data and calling for it to be added to the Data.One government
portal in a machine-readable format. (9-Sep-2013)

this. Mr Luk is now CEO of Brockman Mining (0159).
