Re: [meetings] Consider recording meetings (#10)

> If there are confidentiality reasons for the meetings to not be recorded, then potentially a second meeting could be set up or we turn off recording for a portion. But I assume nothing that confidential should be shared anyway. If simply because people don't like to hear themselves, hoping we can move past for the greater good. Other reasons for not recording?

Just in case people are interested in the reasons and to quickly summarize for this issue thread, I believe recording discourages candor in participation, and discourages some people from participating at all, and provides an incomplete record if we plan to follow W3C practices and won't coerce people who do participate but don't want to be recorded. These are, incidentally, instances where privacy is valuable because it prevents chilling of speech.

I'm not aware of W3C meetings where we have had trouble getting volunteers to scribe in real time but did have people volunteering to go back and transcribe an audio recording after the fact (without anyone able to help make corrections). It sounds laborious to me, but if there is willingness to do that, it's possible (though not certain) that we could get unanimous agreement for recordings that would be used only for that purpose.
