Audio recordings of Council meetings on website
 
Could there be some discussion on the issues involved in uploading recordings of Council meetings on the website, eg privacy, editing of the recording prior to uploading, no "parliamentary privilege" protection for councillors and staff, councils' liability as the publisher, recommended timeframes for uploading and removing, records management of recordings, prevention of a recording being modified once downloaded etc.
Comments
how about a discussion on these issues plus other legal issues pertaining to the web? eg. copyright, the spam act, etc.
With local media banned from recording meetings in order to protect councillors and staff it then seems counterproductive to then put recordings online. What do others think?
