[ftr, I think *I* said that]
I cannot imagine
why anyone would object to giving participants a way to
identify that they wish not to be photographed, and asking
photographers to make a reasonable effort to honor that
wish.
The key issue, IMO, lies with the idea that the IETF
will enforce individual photographers ignoring that wish as
harassment.
Here’s my suggestion:
Many IETF participants also engage in photography.
We ask that those
participants respect the above policies and
avoid photographing
individuals who have asked not to be
photographed.
(i.e., just remove the last sentence)
If anyone wants to claim harassment about being
photographed otherwise, they ought to take it up with their
lawyer. Photography isn’t a function of IETF meetings, and I
don’t think it is useful for the IETF to try to police it
(in fact, were they to try, I would not be surprised if they
would end up on the wrong side of the law too).
If a photographer is repeatedly getting too close, or taking
pictures of body parts, after having been asked not to, that's a
case for the ombudsteam.
This proposed policy simply gives attendees a mechanism to "ask not
to." If a photographer is not respecting their wishes, they still
have to decide to raise it as an issue with the ombudsfolks.
