bout de papier
A paper with nothing on it but text which may be passed to a foreign representative. Anonymous and completely informal, it typically contains notes to assist an oral presentation or, in a negotiation, a proposed formula. In the first case it fulfils essentially the same functions as an aidemémoire but with even less risk of attribution where this could be damaging; in the second it has the object of trying to break an impasse where identification of authorship in the outside world could be equally perilous. Sometimes the English-language term ‘piece of paper’ is used for this device. See also non-paper. |
