agree  writeaway: in lieu of means instead of /yes. à la place de = instead of. Your answer is wrong/ok-sorry. I misread it. For some reason the 'de' didn't register correctly with me

agree  Germaine: c’est la formule courante, sauf que pour le conseil d’administration, on utilise "réunion" (et "assemblée" pour l’assemblée générale des membres/actionnaires/porteurs de parts, selon le cas).
