Meeting in Zurich yesterday and today (16 and 17 March 2006) and chaired by FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter, the FIFA Executive Committee approved the report compiled by the Task Force for the Good of the Game, which will now be submitted to the Congress in Munich on 7-8 June 2006 for ratification. The creation of the task force, which comprises three working groups (for financial matters, political matters and competitions, respectively), was sanctioned by the 2005 FIFA Congress in Marrakech last September upon the proposal of President Blatter in order to address the problems facing football today.

discussion group


Explanation:
Hello,

I think this is more on the lines of a discussion group. When you reflect/ponder, you are discussing in your mind or out loud. It's not quite the same thing as studying.

réflexion = reflection = contemplation = discussion

I hope this helps.

  -> Thanks, gad. I don't think it's a study group. It seems to a group where folks get together and discuss/reflect upon a given issue/subject.
