Berna - FIFA announced Thursday that its legally embattled executive committee will convene July 20 in Zurich, the scene of shocking hotel raids two weeks ago.

An "Ex-co" meeting agenda released by the governing body includes "reform of FIFA´s organizational structure," the setting of a timetable for election of a new FIFA president to replace Sepp Blatter, and "any other items proposed."

The announcement comes shortly after FIFA said Thursday that its director of communications, Walter De Gregorio, has "decided to relinquish his office" but will serve FIFA on a "consultancy basis" through the end of the year.

Blatter has also promised to resign but has said he will stay on for several months, claiming he intends to introduce reforms.

It is not clear if Blatter can survive in his position beyond the July 20 meeting, where 24 members of the "Ex-co" would set the date for "the extraordinary elective Congress," the summit meeting where more than 200 representatives of all of FIFA´s member nations are expected to gather and elect a replacement for Blatter.

"During the meeting, the agenda for the elective Congress will be finalised and approved," FIFA said. "The extraordinary elective Congress will take place in Zurich between December 2015 and February 2016 as announced by the FIFA President on 2 June 2015."
