Blueribbon panel sometimes called a blueribbon commission is an informal term generally used to describe a group of exceptional persons appointed to investigate or study 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. A blueribbon panel is often appointed by a government body or executive to report on a matter of controversy . It might be composed of independent scientific experts or academics with no direct government ties to study a particular issue or question, or it might be composed of citizens well known for their general intelligence, experience and non partisan interests to study a matter of political reform. The blueribbon aspect comes from the presentation of the panel as the best and brightest for the task, and the appointment of such a panel, ad hoc , is meant to signal its perspective as outsiders of the usual process for study and decisions. The designation blueribbon is often made by the appointing authority, and may be disputed by others who might see the panel as less independent, or as a way for an authority to dodge responsibility. Recent examples of high level so called blueribbon panels in the United States would be the Warren Commission investigating the John .... The term has leaked into official usage.
