CIMM Gave TV Currency 18 Months To Get Its Act Together. Including Itself.
CIMM says its new task force will get TV measurement's existing referees working together, or disband within 18 months. What counts as progress has not been set, and Jon Watts says the task force itself will decide once its proposals are final.

- CIMM's Strong Foundations Implementation Task Force will disband if it makes no significant progress in 12 to 18 months.
- Its two jobs: strengthen the accreditation process and write a provider-neutral currency requirements framework.
- Measurement and currency providers will be consulted but will not sit on the task force, Watts said.
- The MRC has not agreed to take the recommendations, and Watts said it can't until the proposals are finalized.
- Watts answered three Unmeasured questions in twelve minutes; the roster and funding wait on partner sign-offs.
On the record
“If after 12 to 18 months we haven't made significant progress, we will disband the task force.”
“Measurement and currency providers will clearly need to be consulted, but we don't think it's appropriate for them to sit on the Taskforce.”
