Will they actually accomplish anything? Somehow I doubt it. Probably more bickering, no actual agreements, same old story.

The FIA Formula 1 Commission is being convened in London today to discuss the proposed new F1 technical regulations. Its 24 members, representing the teams, the sponsors, the tire and engine suppliers and the race promoters, will attempt to reach a consensus on the various measures that have been proposed to reduce costs and to promote more spectacular racing ahead of the upcoming meeting of the World Motor Sport Council.
The technical proposals include “long-life” engines (possibly 2.4-liter V8s), a workable ban on electronic “driver-aids” and aerodynamic restrictions. Testing would be strictly limited by means of an FIA-controlled mandatory on-board mileage recorder, and new teams would be encouraged to purchase chassis and engines from the existing constructors.
A range of financial and sporting matters is also on the agenda, including promoters' costs, majority (instead of unanimous) voting for changes to the F1 Technical Regulations and the Concorde Agreement, and a 20-race fixture list.
The F1 Commission currently has 24 members including FIA president Max Mosley, commercial rights holder Bernie Ecclestone, one representative from each team, two delegates representing sponsors, one the tire suppliers and one the engine manufacturers. In addition there are four European race promoters and four promoters from outside Europe.
