The Colloque Lippmann’s purpose was agenda-setting, not settled doctrine.

Evidence

Discussions at the “Colloque Lippmann” remained vague and broad because of both the relative brevity of the individual contributions and a general sense of uncertainty about whether the conversation should focus on a reexamination of foundational principles or a discussion of practical policies. … The primary task of the meeting, however, was to establish an agenda for the future of the movement itself, and about that the participants remained in broad agreement. — Angus Burgin, The Great Persuasion, 192
