The International Football Association Board is proposing to experiment with further video assistance for officials in four key areas: contentious goals, penalty decisions, red cards and cases of mistaken identity.
The plans will now be put to the vote at IFAB's 130th Annual General Meeting in March, where delegates will be given the "strongest possible recommendation" to agree.
And the trials could even take place in next season's FA Cup or Scottish Cup, with FA chief executive Martin Glenn and Scottish counterpart Stewart Regan both willing to act as guinea pig.
Glenn said: "I'm very happy for things within my direct control - the English FA's direct control - to be part of that. We are big supporters of the use of technology. So, what do we control? We control the FA Cup.
"We think it can b
e a real addition to the game, so obviously we would be available to be a part of that process, but let's make it a good experiment as opposed to trying to please everyone.
"We have to define the experiment that works, which kind of games, which kind of refereeing protocols, and if it's relevant to do something in England, we absolutely put our hand up."
Regan said: "It's one that we would certainly discuss as a board. As a personal preference, it's something I'd like to see push forward."
