From what I know, the group is named after the first location in where they had their original meeting. There is another post on ATS from years ago
where the black and white photo from 1954 was posted.
From what I have gathered it is more of a global networking group, which turned into a financial steering committe due to the success of their first
meeting. The members are always the most influencial and hooked up people from the worlds leading countries.
Since it is invite only, no out siders know exactly what is discussed, hence the rumors and theories of what could be going on.
Many of the members, as mentioned previously are also members of the Tri-lat and CFR, which is a global control group, admitted by the key members.
Here are a couple more links on the group.
