The Chatham House Rule is a system for holding debates and discussion panels on controversial issues, named after the headquarters of the UK Royal Institute of International Affairs, based in Chatham House, London, where the rule originated in June 1927.
At a meeting held under the Chatham House Rule, anyone who comes to the meeting is free to use information from the discussion, but is not allowed to reveal who made any comment.
Official narrative
Wikipedia comments that "It is designed to increase openness of discussion." Chatham House states that the singular should be used as there is only one rule,[1] although some groups such as the Institute for Statecraft use the plural.
