subcommissions
Delegated working groups
Subcommissions are smaller bodies formed within a larger commission, typically assigned to handle specific aspects of the parent body's work.
A human rights commission might create subcommissions on torture, discrimination, or indigenous rights.
The term appears mainly in governmental, ecclesiastical, and international organizational contexts: The subcommission will report its findings to the full commission next month.
