A quick definition of caucus:

A caucus is a meeting where people from a political party or with similar interests get together to make decisions. They might choose who they want to run for office or decide on a plan of action. Sometimes, a mediator might hold a separate caucus with just one person to try and find a solution to a problem. It's important for everyone to be fair and work together to find the best solution for everyone involved.

A more thorough explanation:

A caucus is a meeting of representatives from a political party or a group of people with similar interests to discuss and decide on policies or strategies.

For example, during an election, members of a political party may hold a caucus to nominate candidates and decide on party policies. Similarly, a group of activists may hold a caucus to plan their strategy for a protest or campaign.

Separate caucus is a confidential mediation session held by a mediator with an individual party to elicit settlement offers and demands. The mediator shuttles between the two or more sides of a dispute to communicate offers and demands.

For instance, in a legal dispute, a mediator may hold separate caucuses with each party to help them reach a settlement without going to court.
