Re: [802SEC] IEEE Policies concerning the press
Matt, other 802 WG Chairs,
I would caution you in how you apply 10.2.21. I have noticed wide usage of audio recording by attendees from Japan, presumably for later listening for greater comprehension of the active dialog taking place in a language in which they are not completely fluent. I have not noticed, but would expect among 1500 attendees, that there are also likely hearing impaired people (covered by the ADA) recording some of the dialog. I suggest you take these needs into account when making any rules limiting audio recording.

Subject: [802SEC] IEEE Policies concerning the press
Folks,
I've seen some interesting coverage of the current IEEE 802 plenary in the media. Per Paul's suggestion, I looked up the IEEE Policies on the press which read:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10.2.21 - AUDIO RECORDING, VIDEO RECORDING, AND PHOTOGRAPHY AT IEEE STANDARDS MEETINGS
IEEE Standards Sponsor committees may apply restrictions on the use of audio recording, video recording, or photography equipment where they may impede free discussion, where they compromise commercial value, or where they are disruptive. Such restrictions should be clearly identified, in advance, to attendees.
10.2.22 - PRESS ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS
Normally, individuals from the press are not encouraged to attend standards meetings. If the press is in attendance, the chair should announce press attendance. Normal meeting fees are not expected to be waived for the press.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure where that leaves things but thought it would be worth knowing.
Mat
