Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
Spanish term or phrase: mesa de presidencia
From a series of contracts involving state lotteries

En el caso de los miembros de la mesa de presidencia: contractual y cumplimiento de normativa legal con la IGAE (intervención general del Estado) para la asistencia a mesas de presidencia

and later...

Consentimiento: en el caso de niños y autoridades para sorteos viajeros, acompañantes de niños y terceros cooptados en la mesa de presidencia principalmente para Navidad

In the first example it would seem to be something like a committee, less so in the second case

Presidential Round Table
Explanation:
Seems to works in both instances of a committee and meetings of such cf. mesa de partes in Lat. Am. / Peruvian courts as a 'filing desk' - West - or Registry Office Inwards.

Presidential as an adjective is to dodge the Chairman's vs. Chairwoman's vs. Chair at the Round Table: to quote one late SPA/Am. ENG translator who had been appointed 'Chair of the Bloomsbury Medical Group' in London - I am not a 'chair' but real person.

Also Round Table as two words to avoid the US American spelling of Roundtable and overlap with the weblink.

neutral  AllegroTrans: Maybe... but everything is context dependent and we need to be sure we are talking of a President and not a chairman/person

  -> Agreed, but Chairing of the Board Round Table doesn't have that 'Sir Gallahad and Knights of the Round Table' ring to it.
