The Dialogue
A weekly policy cadence.
Most convening in this sector happens once a year. Regulation does not. The Dialogue operates on a weekly rhythm, a policy cadence rather than a season of events.
Most sessions are working sessions of 12 to 40 people, not broadcasts. No session is held without a named output, a named owner and a publication date.
Weekly
Executive Dialogues, Compliance Clinics and Panels. 52 sessions a year, 60 to 75 minutes, by invitation or approved application. A topic is scheduled only if it is live in at least one Founding Five jurisdiction within twelve months, at least two constituencies hold materially different views, and a defined output can be produced.
Monthly
Closed-door roundtables and country spotlights.
Quarterly
Executive summits.
Annual
One continental conference. Date to be confirmed.
The Closed-Door Programme.
Some conversations cannot happen in public: a supervisor exploring whether an obligation is proportionate, a firm describing a control weakness, a bank explaining a de-risking decision.
Our closed-door programme runs strictly under the Chatham House Rule. Participants may use what they hear, but may not reveal the identity or affiliation of any speaker. Written undertakings before first attendance. No recording, transcription, or photography. Notes taken only by a designated rapporteur and de-identified at source. No participant list circulated. One published sanction, applied without exception: a breach ends participation permanently.
We never characterise a public authority's position on the basis of a closed session. Ever.
