committee meeting
Panel gathers formally
A committee meeting is a scheduled gathering where members of a committee convene to discuss business, make decisions, or review matters within their charge.
The phrase often carries connotations of bureaucratic tedium—lengthy agendas, procedural wrangling, and slow progress: I'm stuck in a committee meeting until three.
To say something got lost in committee meetings suggests it died from excessive deliberation.
