Withdrawing of 101 meeting points (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

foci

'points' is the definition.
(focus is a kind of point)

'withdrawing of 101 meeting' is the wordplay.
'withdrawing' is a reversal indicator.
'101' becomes 'ci' (roman numerals).
'meeting' says to put letters next to each other.
'of' reversed gives 'fo'.
'fo'+'ci'='FOCI'

(Other definitions for foci that I've seen before include "Points for attention" , "Central points (of the greatest activity)" , "fixed points" , "Centres" , "targets" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
