How do we know this?
It's ALL thanks to David Prosser, the academic behind this paper: https://research-information.bris.ac.uk/ws/portalfiles/portal/193478467/Prosser_Marconi_Proposes_Why_it_s_time_to_rethink_the_birth_of_the_BBC_26_Sep_2018.pdf

David found the May 18th meeting minutes MIS-FILED! - not at BBC Written Archives Caversham, but in the GPO archive.
He reckons he was first for nearly 100yrs to see it.

Today, May 18th, is another one of those
HAPPY CENTENARY BBC days!
The idea for the BBC is 100 years old today.
Thanks to this chap: Marconi Company MD Godfrey Isaacs (to the right of
Marconi himself)...
