The Global Risks Forum (GRF)
Institutional dialogues in governance Nexus: structured conversations that compare evidence and options among the people who decide.

Governance Nexus dialogues are structured conversations in which those who govern governance and institutions as well as risk management and systemic risk compare evidence and options on a question with an accountable owner. Each runs under agreed attribution rules, often the Chatham House Rule, and its outcome note is published with participants' consent. A dialogue is listed only once it is confirmed.

Each dialogue appears here once confirmed, with its host, format and terms. To propose one, write to dialogues@globalriskforum.com.
Governance Nexus dialogues examine the structures around decisions: boards and their risk committees, the three lines model in organisations, oversight bodies in government, and the councils of multi-stakeholder arrangements. A typical question is whether a public utility's board receives risk information early enough to act, or whether an oversight body can see the decisions it is meant to review.
| Format | Use |
|---|---|
| Board risk dialogue | Directors and executives on risk appetite and escalation |
| Oversight mapping | Who reviews which decision, and with what access |
| Integrity clinic | Conflict-of-interest and anti-capture rules for a new body |
Outputs feed the decision-rights method; topic depth is on anti-capture and integrity.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Chatham House Rule | A rule under which participants may use information received but may not reveal the identity or affiliation of speakers. |
| Science-policy interface | The arrangements through which scientific evidence reaches public decisions, including advisory committees, chief scientific advisers, academies and intergovernmental assessments. |
| Track two dialogue | Informal dialogue among non-official participants, such as experts, that can explore options officials cannot. |
| Deliberative forum | A structured process in which participants weigh evidence and arguments together before reaching a view, the approach the OECD describes for representative deliberative processes. |

The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
