Removal of organisational breakdown and article development

Hello everyone,

If you are reading this, you may have noticed that I opted to remove the Strategic governance and Administrative structure sections from the article as, in my view, they represented excessive detail (applicable policies- WP:TMI and WP:NOTDIRECTORY). While the identity of the CEO and other executive officers responsible for particular services is notable in my opinion, this did not warrant an attempt to map out each senior leadership figure exhaustively, particularly as almost none of these people have reached the notability threshold for their own articles. Furthermore, retaining these sections would risk the article becoming out-of-date frequently. As such, I have removed these sections in their entirety and opted to beef up the 'History' section instead, as I believe tracking key milestones for the organisation (incl. the appointment of their current CEO) would serve to create a higher quality article. I have also added to the information available in the infobox in a bid to improve the feel of the article. It would be good to see some more edits in the same vein, adding to milestones or adding detailed information about the organisation's projects rather than the top-level list which currently does a poor job.
