The Chatham House Rule

The Chatham House Rule is a guideline for discussions, primarily in meetings and conferences. It states that participants are free to use the information received, but they cannot reveal the identity or affiliation of the speakers or any other participants. This encourages open dialogue and sharing of ideas, as people feel more comfortable speaking candidly without fear of their comments being attributed to them. Essentially, it aims to promote a safe environment for honest and productive conversations.
