Picture a government handing a sealed job to a group of people and saying: this is yours now, and you speak for us while you do it. That is a commission — not a building and not one officer, but a named group carrying an official task. High says the group is placed near the top: senior enough to act in the country's name. From there the word goes two ways, depending on what the task is — one problem to settle, or one country to keep talking to.
