Are Capital-Reader Rooms Chatham House-style?

Capital-Reader Rooms may use Chatham House-style rules, but only if the official room statement says so. 

Chatham House-style discussion generally means participants may use the information received, but they may not reveal the identity or affiliation of the speaker or other participants. However, this model may not be sufficient for all Capital-Reader Rooms because some materials may be more restricted than ordinary non-attribution discussion. 

Some rooms may be: 

non-attribution; 

confidential; 

restricted access; 

view-only; 

summary-only; 

no external use; 

no quotation; 

no download; 

no forwarding; 

public-safe summary only; 

internal record only. 

Participants should not assume Chatham House rules apply automatically. They should follow the specific access, attribution, and information-handling rules stated for that room. 

If a Capital-Reader Room uses Chatham House-style rules, those rules still do not allow investment claims, marketing use, fundraising use, endorsement claims, or disclosure of controlled materials.
