Dear IAOC, I suggest that your standard dealings with local hosts should include requiring them to perform a local check on whether the standard "Note Well" takes account of all local legal requirements, including for example consent to publication of images. If it doesn't, the host should provide an augmented "Note Well" for use during meeting registration. >From the recent discussion, this needs to be done for sure for IETF 87.
