Caucus

A private meeting or discussion within a larger meeting. Caucuses are typically formed by individuals or members with shared interests or objectives to discuss specific issues or strategies privately. Key elements of caucuses include:

Being organized by participants who share common goals, concerns, or affiliations.
Allowing for focused, confidential discussions separate from the main meeting.
Providing a platform for participants to strategize, collaborate, or seek consensus on particular matters.
Often used in political or organizational settings to coordinate actions, build consensus, or address sensitive topics.
Reporting back to the larger group with any relevant outcomes or decisions reached during the caucus session.
