Blue-ribbon panel
Blue-ribbon panel is an informal term generally used to describe a group of exceptional persons appointed to investigate or study or analyze a given question. The term generally connotes a degree of independence from political influence or other authority, and such panels usually have no direct authority of their own. Their value comes from their ability to use their expertise to issue findings or recommendations which can then be used by those with decision-making power to act.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Blue-ribbon panel
