Japanese term or phrase: 会議
Hi,

The term '会議' here is used a number of times in what seems to be in reference to the names of different committees such as '教育課程連絡調整会議', but to my understanding '会議' is usually a meeting or conference, so I'd like to know if '会議' can ever be used to indicate a committee or board. Many thanks.

Other instances include 'プログラム管理運営会議' and '共同教育課程学長会議'.

agree  Sally Wals: I've often seen it used as/translated it as 'council'! Definitely a wider meaning than just 'meeting'.
