… and this time to sending to ietf@xxxxxxxx in addition to ietf-announce@xxxxxxxx as I originally intended. > Thanks all for the spirited discussion of the proposed photography policy [1]. > > The IESG has updated the photography policy based on the feedback we > received to focus more on establishing norms and less on enforcement, as well > as to better balance people's desires not to be photographed with the need > for transparency, particularly for photographs of presenters and leadership. > > This policy will be in effect for IETF 101 in London. The secretariat will > make two types of lanyards available at registration: > > - White lanyard: Individual is OK with being photographed > - Red lanyard: Individual desires not to be photographed > > This is our first time with this policy, so the IESG will be watching the > results in London and the feedback we receive on how it goes to determine if > changes are required. > > The policy is posted at https://www7.ietf.org/blog/ietf-meeting-photography-policy/ and > included below. > > Alissa Cooper, IETF Chair > on behalf of the IESG > > [1] https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf/Qz6UNZ-7jBgK_KKu7mSgvi89GdE > > > -------------- > > IETF Meeting Photography Policy > > The intent behind this policy is to balance people's legitimate desire not to > be photographed with the IETF's ability to document activities and enable > remote participation. The following policy applies to all IETF events, > including WG meetings, plenaries, and the hackathon. > > > LABELLING > The IETF will make available a mechanism for participants to label themselves > as desiring not to be photographed. The secretariat will determine the > details in consultation with the IESG. > > > OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHY > Any photographer engaged on behalf of the IETF should not photograph > individuals displaying the "do-not-photograph" label, should make reasonable > efforts to avoid photographing small groups with one or more members > displaying the label, and should not publish small group photographs with > such individuals in them. There are two important exceptions to this policy: > > - IETF leadership (IESG, IAB, WG Chairs, Presenters) performing their > official responsibilities may be photographed. > > - Photographs of large groups may contain incidental images of such > individuals and we will not attempt to redact those. Specifically, > photographs of panels and the like (e.g., the IESG/IAB plenary) are expected > to contain all individuals regardless of labelling. > > Working group meetings are generally video recorded and broadcast, for remote > participation and archival purposes, and no attempt will be made to avoid > recording individuals. However, if the IETF publishes still frames of these > videos, individuals displaying the labels should not be shown. > > Note: the use of "should" above is intended to reflect that although this is > IETF policy, it is a best effort service and some mistakes will likely be > made, perhaps because someone's label is not noticed or visible. Individuals > can contact Greg Wood (wood at isoc.org) to arrange for redaction of their > images or to report abuse. > > > UNOFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHY > Many IETF participants also engage in photography. We ask that those > participants avoid photographing individuals who have asked not to be > photographed or are displaying the "do-not-photograph" label, except under > the conditions listed above. >
