Michael Garcia's decision to resign as Fifa's independent ethics investigator is a new low for football's governing body, says vice-president Jim Boyce.
American lawyer Garcia claimed Fifa published an "incomplete and erroneous" report following his two-year study into 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding.
When asked if it was a new low for Fifa, Boyce replied: "I don't think there's any doubt about that."
On Friday, Fifa members will vote on whether to publish a longer report.
In December 2010, it was announced that Russia would host the 2018 World Cup, with Qatar staging international football's biggest competition four years later.
Garcia was asked to file a report into allegations of corruption in the bidding process, however his findings were condensed from an original 430-page report into a 42-page summary.
"I have always said that as much of this report as is legally possible should be put in the public domain and until that is done it's not going to go away," added Boyce, Britain's most senior football official.
"I will vote that as much as can be legally published should be published. If people have nothing to hide why are they afraid of something being issued?"
The vote will be held at a meeting in Marrakesh, Morocco, but it is unclear how many members will be allowed to take part.
The Fifa committee consisted of 22 members in December 2010 and president Sepp Blatter has previously said only those people should be able to vote on whether to issue a more comprehensive corruption report.
However, of those original 22, only 13 are still on the committee. It means that 12 members of Fifa's committee (which now consists of 25 people), as well as a further two co-opted members, would not be eligible to vote.
