Sub-set of the board of directors
Sub-set: je comprends qu'il s'agit que d'un certains nombre d'administrateurs, je me demande s'il y a un mot pour décrire Sub-set.
Thank you :)

: I think this is a step too far; the source text suggests only an "ad hoc" cohort of the members, not a formal committee

: you would expect that if only some of the directors meet as a "subset" then they should be some kind of "working group" "ad-hoc committee" or similar, but it's only guessing.

Sous-ensemble du conseil d'administration
"Comité restreint" is used for a smaller group of directors who meet to discuss specific issues before reporting back to the full board.
"Sous-comité" implies a more permanent group with specific delegated tasks.
"Sous-ensemble" is a more general term. It is the most frequently used, for it can replace both "Comité restreint" and "Sous-comité".
L'équipe de développement est un sous-ensemble plus petit de l'entreprise.
Un sous-ensemble du conseil d'administration se réunira pour discuter du budget marketing.

| Thank you. I agree that sous-ensemble seems too broad. In the context that a new written resolution was adopted concerning the reduction of the capital of the company, un "comité restreint" or even "exécutif" could work better in this context? |

: Your answer duplicates Kévin's, who submitted his 6 mins after the question was posted, as opposed to your 54 mins... You could have gone with one of your other options instead.

It may simply be a reduced-size Board of Directors (owing to illness, sufficient quorum, etc.)
