The Special Envoy

These days the hottest story in the company is about a special envoy to the acting MD. This envoy has called for a meeting to all contracting stake holders but could not carry out due to lack of support. Some said who and under what authority?

As soon as I heard this news I thought to check for the meaning of envoy which is;.
1. A representative of a government who is sent on a special diplomatic mission.
2. A minister plenipotentiary assigned to a foreign embassy, ranking next below the ambassador.
3. A messenger; an agent
Referring to the meaning, it could only be a rumor since no one at this capacity has joined MTCC. So who are they referring to? Why?
