[AG-TECH] Why record AG conferences

[Derek Piper]

	Hi,

	I have a sort of 'Devil's advocate' question to ask everyone on the 
list. It's this, what are the main reasons why someone would want to 
record AccessGrid conferences? Also, what about invasion of privacy 
concerns?
	I'm asking since I'm interested in learning how people (like us) feel 
about recording conferences and if any of the people we maintain 
services for have expressed interest in recording conferences too.
	I personally think that recording conferences is good for these reasons:

- Archival of important meetings/alternative note-taking
- Re-broadcast for people that missed the meeting

	I'd like to hear what others think about this. As for invasion of 
privacy, I'm sure there might be people that could abuse it but then 
people can abuse anything.

	Derek
