off-table

(adj.) describing something that should be done outside of the present discussion, generally deployed in the context of a larger group meeting in which the participants are gathered around a conference table, as in “We’ll need to do some off-table work to develop the focus group themes further”; implies that once the session breaks up activity will continue in another location with a subset of those present; similar to parking lot, which refers to topics that are deferred for later discussion, but without the implication that those items are of lesser importance
