This phrase has now featured against two meetings, recorded by the RM in their 'Timeline' as having taken place. The first was chaired by a member of the CFHT and the second by a member of the BBP (on zoom I understand). If both were indeed run in the manner described by that phrase, I would have expected some progress to have been achieved. Surely the aim of holding a 'without prejudice' meeting is to allow those involved to get matters resolved. An alternative possiblity is that using WP can keep dicussions out of the public domain.

WP essentially means you can't take what was said into a court but in the instances mentioned above it was used in an effort to keep the content away from the public rather than a judge.
The first one really ought to have made progress. It was along the right lines but a certain faction was having none of it as they would later prove. The second one was a total joke by all accounts.
