A Tempus/WPP board meeting will be held in London on 15 and 16
November to discuss a number of issues, including the name for the
merged CIA and The Media Edge media buying division, and also to decide
who will be charged with steering the merger. WPP has placed four of its
executives on the Tempus board - Charles Courtier, the chief executive
of TME, Hans-Willem Germeraad, the head of TME's European business, Tom
Handy, the TME finance director, and Christopher Sweetland, the WPP
deputy finance director - until the purchase is final and the company is
de-listed.
