The thing about Law changes being made by IFAB are that they are supposed to come into effect on July 1st immediately following their meeting (which takes place each March). Fine for the new football seasons in Europe, but not sure it should have been in place for the England v New Zealand game. Oh well.

The New York Times newspaper quotes anonymous source as saying that each of the elected representatives on FIFA’s 37-member council earned $250,000, plus tens of thousands of dollars more in travel expenses.
The Swiss Tages-Anzeiger newspaper, picking up the story, says FIFA declined to comment. But the alleged salaries are expected to be confirmed when FIFA officially releases its latest financial report in March.
For a council scheduled to meet only three times this year, such compensation “far exceeds payments for similar work at some of the world’s largest for-profit companies”, says the New York Times. It also appears to contradict repeated pledges by FIFA President Gianni Infantino to restore the organisation’s credibility by imposing financial discipline.
“There should be, especially for a non-profit [organisation], some sort of justification for the sum,” Alexandra Wrage, president of the corporate governance advisor Trace International, told the New York Times.

Well, we now have the answer.

FIFA don't set the Laws of the game.

'Substitutions

A player who is being substituted must leave the pitch by the nearest point on the touchline or byeline - unless the referee says he can leave quickly at the halfway line - or elsewhere for safety or injury reasons.

This change is to stop players time-wasting. Any player who "infringes the spirit of this law" will be booked for unsporting behaviour'

About time too.

I've always found the idea that this is 'time-wasting' a bit weird - 30 seconds are added on for every substitution, which pretty much covers the long walk from the opposite touchline. So if substitutions are now to be rushed and completed in 10 seconds or so, presumably the time added on for a substitution should also be reduced.
