eminent persons group

 
     
  An unofficial or quasi-official advisory group consisting of influential figures from varied backgrounds. Such a group may be employed to advise a state or international organization on a particular problem and disband when its task is completed. Employed in this sense, the term gained currency following the appointment of the Common-wealth Group of Eminent Persons on Southern Africa, which reported in June 1986. Eminent persons groups may also be employed on a more enduring basis to advise on the conduct of a particular bilateral relationship, in which case a co-chair is provided by each side. India\'s oldest group of this kind is the India-Japan Study Group, created in the early 1960s. See also joint commission.
