Policy: An intergovernmental panel?

Does panel here mean "a group of people gathered for a special purpose as to plan or discuss an issue or judge a contest etc"? If so, what does "Policy: Panel" mean then?

Context:

Policy: An intergovernmental panel on antimicrobial resistance

22 May 2014

Drug-resistant microbes are spreading. A coordinated, global effort is needed to keep drugs working and develop alternatives, say Mark Woolhouse and Jeremy Farrar.
