Thanks for the link. Above article says they are in denial over the Davies resignation, but the BBC DOES acknowledge it:

BBC governors hold crisis talks


Gavyn Davies
Davies questioned some of Hutton's findings
BBC governors are holding a crisis meeting on Thursday after Lord Hutton's damning verdict led the corporation's chairman to quit.

Gavyn Davies resigned after the most serious claims in Andrew Gilligan's BBC's reports were branded "unfounded".

But he questioned some of the retired law lord's findings on the death of weapons expert Dr David Kelly.

And he criticised "defective" BBC editorial controls over defence correspondent Andrew Gilligan's broadcasts on the Today programme.
