[Vision2020] taping the candidate forums

Thank you!  My point exactly.

And this is a public meeting open to the public regarding public servants and issues....obviously, a concept Mr. K does not get.

He did open the recording upon other people's request, why the hesitation on this one request?

J,
Anyone at a public venue; meeting, event, even 
on the sidewalk can be photographed or videotaped without their permission. 
Using their photo/likeness for commercial purpose requires a written release. 
For editorial use, such as newspapers, TV and magazine no release is 
required.

Another item of concern - since other people will be there 
  taping, then that means Mr. K or the Chamber has opened the door for ANYone 
  recording - otherwise, a discrimination charge could easily be made and 
  supported.

Wonder what Mr. K and/or the Chamber is afraid of if Tom or 
  anyone else records this session?  Got an answer for that one, Mr. 
  K?  Seriously, its not like anyone is going to "doctor g" the tape or 
  make the candidates look foolish.  I'm sure those who want a copy can 
  receive one very easily.

Em, I seem to remember a LOT of meetings where 
  Bob H was filming not only the public "servants" but the public, withOUT 
  asking for permission.  At least Mr. Hanson is very kind and a true gent 
  and is asking for your public approval.  I'd go with it if I were you, 
  Mr. K...shows the openness and lack of "hiding" that you say the Chamber is 
  trying to project.

    If the Chamber is tax-supported then Idaho open meeting 
    law should apply. Under that law,recording media; audio, video and still 
    cameras are allowed.

      One other thing, as I think about it, Darrell, 
      particularly in forums where the audience is questioning the candidates 
      from the floor and especially if follow-up questions are allowed, the 
      potential for "cross-examination" of particular candidates is clearly 
      present.  Having the best recording possible, including video 
      of questioners where possible, will make for a better way of 
      evaluating just how fairly the forum was moderated and more fully lay out 
      whatever biases are being advanced in the questioning.

        Tom,
         
        Give a guy some time to respond!  I'm not at the desk 
        24/7...
         
        Our letter of invitation to the candidates didn't mention 
        videotaping.  I don't want to introduce a variable to them that 
        they were not aware of in advance.  Radio Free Moscow will be audio 
        taping, though.  I hope that satisfies your needs for 
        documentation. 
         
        Here are the details you asked about:
        10/17/07, noon, Washington Room, University Inn 
         
        Please RSVP to the Chamber at 882-1800.
         
        See you there Tom!

          Mr. Keim -
 
Unless I hear differently from you I will 
          assume that video-taping of Wednesday's candidates forum is permitted 
          and will proceed accordingly
 
Thank you for your concern 
          in this matter.

            Mr. Keim 
            -
 
I sincerely 
            appreciate your direct and immediate response, something that has 
            been sorely missed from the Chamber of Commerce.  It is most 
            refreshing to know that the chamber will be responsive to the Moscow 
            community.  Thank you. 
 
Two 
            questions:
 
1)  
            When and where will the CofC City Council Candidates Forum be 
            conducted at the University Inn?
 
2)  Is 
            video-taping the forum permitted?
 
Thank you 
            for your anticipated response. 
 

            Seeya round town, 
            Moscow.
