[Vision2020] taping the candidate forums

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.

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!

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.
