Salon N-10: the room where the practices committee evaluates the board and the independent director kit lands before the benchmark
Salon N-10 sits inside one of the corporate practices and governance committee complexes in the Polanco-Bosques corridor of Mexico City: an oval table seating eleven, a central screen for benchmark review, lecterns for the committee chair and the Spencer Stuart or Egon Zehnder consultant, an adjoining deliberation room with five seats, a holding foyer for working coffee, a dumbwaiter from the corporate kitchen, and an independent access door for the notary when the minutes signing requires public attestation. This is where the annual practices committee sessions of IPC-listed corporates run, where the annual board evaluations of dual-listed groups take place, where the CEO succession plan reviews convene, and where the executive compensation reports are reviewed. What separates Salon N-10 from a posh ballroom is the documentary order: the independent director kit enters before the benchmark, exits signed by each committee member at close, and respects the confidentiality limits of the succession plan.
