The International Football Association Board (IFAB) will also consider changes to rules concerning the treatment of injured players, according the to agenda published by FIFA on Friday, and debate an end to automatic sendings-off for players who deny the opposition a goal-scoring chance.
Pressure has been mounting to allow the use of technology, especially after the Thierry Henry handball incident during November's World Cup qualifying play-off between France and Ireland.
Henry twice handled the ball in the run-up to France's decisive goal in their 2-1 aggregate win but the match referee did not see it.
The IFAB will also discuss the experiment in this year's Europa League, where an extra linesman has been placed behind each goal to help the referee spot infringements in the penalty area.
Algeria goalkeeper Fawzi Chaouchi, enraged when Egypt's Hosni Abd Rabou feinted before stroking his spot-kick into the net, chased the referee, grabbed him from behind and head-butted him before being dragged away by team mates.
The IFAB said the current situation constitutes a "triple punishment" of penalty, red card and suspension.
"The law was implemented to discourage unnecessary time wasting or breakages in play," said the IFAB. "In general terms, this has not been successful.
"Moreover, teams who have been the victims of foul play have been unfairly disadvantaged by the enforced removal of their player, in some cases neutralising the effectiveness of the referee's original award."
