caucus

 
     
  An informal group that meets in private to forge a common approach to matters brought for decision in a larger, formal group. Not surprisingly this is a most important feature of multilateral diplomatic gatherings, whether permanent or ad hoc. On the UN Security Council, for example, the most important caucuses are those of the permanent five ((P5), the Western permanent members (P3), the non-aligned, and the European Union. Even the ‘non-non-aligned’ sometimes meet in caucus.
