A stop-line intervention is a clear, immediate instruction that a discussion has reached or is approaching a prohibited boundary and must stop or be redirected.
It should be simple, calm, and unambiguous. Examples include:
Stop line. This topic is outside GRA meeting boundaries. We cannot discuss pricing, underwriting terms, lending terms, investment terms, or market allocation here. Let us return to the approved agenda.
Stop line. Please do not share confidential, customer, supervisory, underwriting, investment, lending, or material non-public information in this meeting.
Stop line. GRA cannot be used for capital raising, insurance placement, procurement coordination, or public authority approval discussions.
A stop-line intervention does not accuse anyone of wrongdoing. It protects the room. It is a meeting safety tool.
After the intervention, the chair may reframe the topic, move to the next agenda item, direct participants to submit a safe public summary, or route the matter to the appropriate official channel.
A strong meeting culture treats stop-line interventions as normal and professional.
