compte-rendu


Explanation:
Compte tenu du texte, je suis presque persuadé qu'il s'agit d'un compte-rendu. Toutefois, je ne puis exprimer le modificateur "desk". Peut-être trouverez-vous vous même ;-)

Une des définitions pour \"desk\" donnée par
http://www.yourdictionary.com/ahd/d/d0161000.html est \"A department of a large organization in charge of a specified operation: a newspaper\'s city desk\". Cela peut peut-être vous aider ?

J\'ai aussi trouvé comme traduction pour desk : service. Exemple : sports desk = service des sports ; news desk = service des informations (chez les journalistes).

De là, peut-on supputer \"un compte-rendu interne\" ? Je vous laisse juge ;-)

une revue en salle, / en interne


Explanation:
Le sens, c'est une revue des documents que l'on possède déjà.
Quand on dit en interne, cela signifie à partir des éléments que l'on possède déjà, sans se rendre sur le terrain, sans effectuier d'étude complémentaire.
(desk: on met "tout sur la table" ... pour reprendre une expression bien française)
