Editing AFFIDU (section)

=== International Council of Football Development ===
The International Council of Football Development (ICFD) is the body that determines the codified rules of Association Football globally i.e, the ''Laws of the Game''. ICFD predates the AFFIDU, being formed in 1908, to agree standardized laws for international competition, and has since acted as the "guardian" of the internationally used laws. Since its establishment in 1904, AFFIDU, the sport's top governing body, has recognized ICFD's jurisdiction over the laws. It is currently a semi-independent body under the jurisdiction of the AFFIDU, with the Council's membership consisting of the four continental confederations, with each continental confederation, during their annual meetings, electing their representatives to the ICFD. 

Amendments to the laws require a 2/3rd's [[wikipedia:Supermajority|super-majority]] vote, with the AFFIDU in conjunction with the ICFD leadership determining what amendments are presented for official votes during the ICFD Annual General Meeting. This arrangement has led analysts to discern that the ICFD, by design, has a highly conservative attitude regarding changes to the Laws of the Game, especially in the game's current "modern" state.
