Committee members raise livestreaming for future agenda; some express privacy concerns
Summary
Members discussed placing committee livestreaming on a future agenda. Some speakers supported livestreaming to increase public engagement; others said they were wary of being live on camera.
Members of the Executive Committee signaled interest in discussing live streaming of committee meetings at a future session. One member asked to add the item to a future agenda, saying she had received supportive feedback. "I would love, to ultimately decide if we are moving forward with live streaming on committees," she said.
Supporters argued livestreaming could increase public engagement. Others raised privacy and performance concerns: one member said some colleagues have "faces for radio" and expressed sensitivity about being livestreamed. The committee did not take action at this meeting; members suggested scheduling a fuller discussion at a later date.
No motion was made; the item was proposed for future agenda consideration.
