The former attorney general Lord Goldsmith has been confirmed as a member of Fifa's new Independent Governance Committee.
Lord Goldsmith, who served as attorney general between 2001 and 2007, was listed by Fifa on Saturday as part of the committee mandated to propose reforms to the game's world governing body.
The IGC does not contain a representative from Transparency International, however, after it expressed concerns earlier this month that the committee chairman, professor Mark Pieth, had been appointed by Fifa and was being paid by them.
Speaking after a meeting of Fifa's executive committee in Tokyo on Saturday, the Fifa president, Sepp Blatter, said: "Our road map is very ambitious and we want to take time to look at the proposals made by the Independent Governance Committee so that we reach 2013 with results and decisions to be taken.
"The executive committee is united and stands strong, and has a determination to respond to the Fifa congress and to public opinion. Fifa will carry out the necessary reforms."
