Has there been some assessment of how justified have those seeking the
"right to be forgotten" been in becoming forgotten? By doing so does it
risk changing the record in a way that is not beneficial to the
community and historical record?

I warmly second the plaudit and thanks to Brandon for his support of
UKNOF.  He has played a very substantial part in making UKNOF what it is
today.

 We've had this within UKNOF ... sometimes people do not wish to be
recorded, mainly due to confidentiality reasons (ie: advance heads up,
or personal thoughts delivered to a specific audience).   Occasionally
we have been asked to remove recordings at a later date due to
changing circumstances etc.

 We explicitly mention the webcast/records on abstract submissions
from memory, and also recently introduced shepherding to help
presentations be more relevant (both to the speakers to help them in
pushing a $clue or message, to our audience to ensure relevance and to
us in terms of protection from litigation, etc). This applies to both
submitted AND sponsor talks (the latter being incredibly useful and
has shown a major increase in sponsor talk relevance and feedback
ratings).

 People will always mention a lack of recording/webcast for this type
of content ... but then arguably that is a driver to attend in person.

Thanks

Chris
(UKNOF PC Chair)

Speakers are informed they are going to be recorded. If they have
sensitive information, they can choose a track and ask it not be
recorded. NANOG has done this in the past, but you should talk to the
Program Committee if you are interested in this.

Many attendees also find value in the parts of the conference that
aren't recorded, like hallway conversations, informal meetings, and
even social events.

Keeping and maintaining the archive of slides and video recordings is
an essential part of NANOG's educational mission, which was key to
obtaining and maintaining the IRS 401(c)(3) nonprofit status.

So at least for the time I was on the Board, not only were there no
regrets, but we worked hard to maintain and enhance the video experience.

Another organization I'm in has a hard policy of no recordings of any
sessions at their conferences. They think that recordings of content
(even vendor-sponsored, vendor-specific sessions with vendor consent)
would have a catastrophic effect on conference attendance.

NANOG doesn't seem to have that issue. Any background on the process
to get there? Any regrets?
