expert group
A group of experts and specialists from a particular field who meet to exchange knowledge, discuss developments, or collaborate.

The word is made up of 'Fach' (specialist field) and 'Kreis' (circle/group). A 'Fachkreis' is therefore literally a circle of people who deal with a specific specialist topic.

The expression 'in Fachkreisen' is used very frequently and means 'among experts' or 'in the professional community.' It describes that a piece of information or opinion is widespread among specialists.

commission
'Kommission' and 'Fachkreis' both refer to a group of people who deal with a topic. 'Kommission' sounds more official and usually has a clear assignment, for example to review, decide, or investigate something. 'Fachkreis' means a group of specialists from a particular field who exchange knowledge or talk about developments. The words can be confused because both groups may include experts. If the official assignment is important, 'Kommission' fits; if professional exchange is the main focus, 'Fachkreis' is the better choice.
