Yes; however, The Chamber of Commerce is NOT a private organization.
And, if they were, they'd still be opening themselves up for a discrimination charge were they to open the forum to only certain recordings and not to others.

J, a private organization putting on an event
has the ability to control recording of said event.

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.

Re: [Vision2020] taping the candidate forums
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.

Re: [Vision2020] [OFF LIST] Faith and fireworks and the
MoscowChamber
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.

Faith and fireworks and the Moscow Chamber
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.
