Rogers Communications Inc. has created a committee to set the rules for how Chairman Edward Rogers can interact with senior executives after he tried and failed to fire Chief Executive Officer Joe Natale.

The Toronto-based telecommunications company said the group is made up of three directors, including Edward’s sister Melinda Rogers-Hixon. She joined forces with other board members last month to block the move to replace Natale with Chief Financial Officer Tony Staffieri.
