subcommission
Delegated working group
A subcommission is a smaller body formed within a larger commission to handle a specific portion of its work.
Like subcommittees within committees, subcommissions allow specialized focus on particular issues while reporting to the parent body: The UN subcommission on human rights met in Geneva.
