This week I am chairing the Gordon Research Conference on Science and Technology Policy, which has participation of many leading science policy scholars. I wish I could report on our many interesting sessions, but because we operate under a variation on the Chatham House Rule, I cannot. However, I can tell you that today we held the first ever GRC STP soccer match. After a closely fought game under the hot, humid sun of New Hampshire, as chair of the meeting, I awarded the MVP trophy from the match to Peter Weingart, who played goalie. Peter was given an award at the start of this evening's session.
You can see Peter in action during our game in the image above. Also, there he is on the right in a more scholarly setting. In addition to being a giant in the field of science and technology policy research, Peter now has this rare honor to add to his resume. The next match will be in 2014. Congrats Peter!

Hmmm,
Under the Chatham House Rule I am familiar with, there is nothing to prevent you sharing the content of the sessions so long as you don't identify or attribute speakers.
Did you read your link Roger? Only identification and affiliation of speakers is forbidden.
"When a meeting, or part thereof, 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".
What was the score?
-1-Gekko
Yeah, that is why I said "variation"
-2-Malcolm
The final score was a tie;-)
"neither the identity nor the affiliation ... of any other participant, may be revealed"
The variation seems to be that the identities of at least 2 participants can be revealed but not what anyone said!!!
Soccer players of the world unite!!
Last night we won 3-1 in our Summer League.
I hope the players knew what they were doing. It is very dangerous playing soccer against former ice hockey and American football players who learned the game late.
A tie???
You mean it was drawn!
It is obvious you are a man in need of a glossary.
