Re: Chatham House Rules?

Dave Marr
 

Thanks, and yes the motivation behind the proposal is to find a way for folks to feel more comfortable discussing those sensitive issues.  There's no getting away from the fact many of us on this list are lawyers. :) However progress on this type of project is only possible with open dialogue.  Chatham House indeed has been helpful elsewhere as Shane especially well knows.

Hi Alan. Chatham House is a gentleperson's agreement rather than a legal contract. It has no impact on legal or professional requirements so there should be no conflict in this regard.

Dave, I believe this rule has proven useful in allowing people to discuss sensitive concerns more openly than otherwise over a considerable period in multiple jurisdictions and fields, and therefore would support its adoption. 

Regards

Generally I’m ok with Chatham House as long as there is an exception for legally or ethically required disclosures.

Subject: [OpenChain] Chatham House Rules?

 

Hi, should we move our OpenChain discussions under Chatham House rules?  Thoughts appreciated.
