If agreed, it will also deal with a suggested difficulty over the '13' year designation, a traditional unlucky number for superstitious people.
According to Roscommon-based motor journalist Padraic Deane, the proposal involves adding a 1 or 2 to the year designation, indicating whether the car was registered in the first or second half of the year.
If implemented next year, the prefixes would be '131' and '132' respectively.
The Society for the Irish Motor Industry has been trying to develop a similar system as used in Britain, where the licence plates indicate which half of the year a car was registered.
Padraic Deane is the Irish juror on the World Car of the Year panel, and publisher of a number of auto trade magazines.
