Re: W3C eGov meeting invitation - Social Media Use by Government

Hi Zach, I've asked the people at W3C in legal & communications for pointers to the policy to enlighten us all.  Thanks for kicking off this thread that clearly many of us care about and think is important to get right.  The legal & communications team at W3C may respond directly to this thread.

Cheers,
Bernadette Hyland

> Thanks, Bernadette. Understood.  Perhaps you would consider a small but significant shift:  default to recording, providing adequate general notice to this effect(e.g., boilerplate in telcom announcements), which by dialing in participants acknowledge and accept. That way you require no releases at all as you have covered notice and acceptance. Scribes are wonderful but second best as they inevitably filter - no fault of their own, just in the nature of things. Accuracy and completeness are best served by recording.
