Rooms with rules, and a note published afterwards. Nothing attributed.
A convening that produces no record is a favour to whoever was in the room. Every gathering we run publishes a note of what was discussed, with nothing attributed to a named participant.
The summit
One day, one question, a published programme and a published note. No sponsor logo appears beside a finding.
Roundtables
Twelve to sixteen people, no press, no photography, Chatham House by default and a note within ten working days.
Diaspora compact
A pooled, unrestricted funding and expertise compact with a published cap on any single member's share.
Membership
What membership does buy — early access to data, a seat at roundtables — and what it can never buy.
Sight of a finding before publication.
A name beside a tracker, on a page or on a slide.
A delay, of any length, for any reason short of a factual error.
A logo wall is an endorsement transaction: the institution borrows credibility and the logo borrows independence. We publish funder bands instead, which carries the same information without the trade.
