FIFA has changed composition rules for a task force criticised as lacking credibility to drive reforms after a corruption crisis.
An 11-member panel announced last week to propose ideas at a September 24-25 FIFA executive committee meeting was widely judged to lack independence.
Changes such as limiting terms in office, publishing salaries and stricter integrity checks can be passed February 26 at the presidential election meeting to replace Sepp Blatter.
FIFA now says "an independent person from outside" football will lead the task force, instead of a "neutral chairman."
It was unclear Monday if FIFA audit committee chairman Domenico Scala refused the role or was unacceptable to confederation presidents making the appointment.
