Under the Chatham House Rule, anyone who comes to a meeting is free to use information from the discussion, but is not allowed to reveal who made any particular comment. It is designed to increase openness of discussion. The rule is a system for holding debates and discussion panels on controversial topics, named after Chatham House, the London headquarters of the Royal Institute of International Affairs, where the rule originated in June 1927.
