bipartisan panel
Joint political committee
A bipartisan panel is a committee or group composed of members from both major political parties, typically formed to investigate an issue or make recommendations that carry credibility across partisan lines: Congress formed a bipartisan panel to examine the intelligence failures.
The term implies cooperation and shared authority, though bipartisan panels sometimes still divide along party lines when issuing findings.
