Here is the actual "official document"

I searched on the first line, and it was the first hit on Google.

Walley also urges BBC3 to be brought back into the broadcast line up – but as a fundamentally innovative, fully IP channel.

“To remove it entirely from the broadcast line up was an act of cultural vandalism that is still shocking,” he says. “A fully interactive IP BBC3 could be put at the centre of a project to define the role of a broadcast channel in a digital world. It should have its own separate and distinct presence in the on-demand world, tied to its core linear IP output but highly experimental in its approach to content and distribution. It could be the first brand to link TV and radio output in an online world.”
