      Apologies, it is “courtesy copy” in an email. So in the “To:” section of an email the sender puts the main intended recipient. In the “Cc:” section, a sender puts other email addresses that they want to be able to see and maybe interact with the email, even if they aren’t the main intended recipient.

      An example might be if, say a party treasurer is emailing an accountant about some invoice, but they want to make sure the party chairperson is aware of the conversation because maybe the chairperson is the one that requested the information about that invoice. The treasurer would Cc the chairperson so they can see whatever is said between the relevant people and thus stay informed.
