FIFA faces a vote next week on whether or not to publish a controversial and sensitive report on alleged corruption during the bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
The sport's world governing body will discuss the topic at its two-day executive committee meeting on the sidelines of the Club World Cup in Morocco on December 18 and 19.
The agenda released on Thursday includes a proposal by Theo Zwanziger, the former head of the German football association and a powerful critic of the decision to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar.
Britain's Telegraph newspaper claimed Zwanziger wanted a redacted version of the full ethics committee report to protect the identities of witnesses who co-operated with the probe, which was led by US lawyer Michael Garcia.
Garcia carried out an 18-month investigation into the bidding that led to the awarding of the 2018 World Cup to Russia and the 2022 tournament to Qatar.
However, the New York federal prosecutor blasted as "incomplete and erroneous" a subsequent version of his report.
German judge Hans-Joachim Eckert, chairman of the adjudication chamber of FIFA's independent ethics committee, said the investigation had not yielded evidence of corruption and there would be no re-vote on awarding the tournaments.
He also argued that Garcia's report could not be published for legal reasons.
