• Therefor, the Chatham rules will be applied for every activity:

“When a meeting is held under the Chatham House Rule, participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed.”

• Sanction: If a member violates this rule, he/she will be excluded of SN4E immediately.

• Aim is to encourage free discussion:

Members are free to voice their own opinions, and to contest the opinions of other participants, without concern for their personal reputation or their official duties and affiliations.

• Guarantee anonymity to those speaking

Members will speak as individuals, not express the views of their organizations.
