Re: Proposed Photography Policy

[Mark Nottingham <mnot@xxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

We can’t provide absolute guarantees about whether a participant has their photo taken onsite; that’s not the point. The point is to create expectations about how participants will treat each other. 

By way of analogy, we don’t guarantee that outsiders will not throw rocks at participants, not do we guarantee that a meteor will hit the next IETF venue. However, if participants do start throwing rocks at each other, I’d hope we’d have something to say about that.

Adding rules will affect venue selection

How does adding this policy affect affect venue selection?

A) the need to contain non attendees from meeting rooms potentially.

Sorry, can you rephrase this?

When we can’t stop non attendees from doing things we want to prevent attendees from doing in nearly the same areas. 

B) cameras already in the venue

I'm also not following this. Are you talking about surveillance cameras in the venue? The policy isn't intended to apply to this,

Right but again the. What is the point of creating an environment that would be free of only attendee cameras?
