Film, photo and video/audio recordings, press, social media during the Caux Forum Online

Attendees may take and share their own photographs/screenshots for private use as long as not asked otherwise by the organizers and as long as the attendees comply with some basic rules of respect towards the subjects photographed.
The Caux Forum offers a safe space that needs to be respected. Please ask the organizer of the meeting if it is ok to take screenshots. Screenshots and recordings should be treated like other potentially harassing interpersonal interactions, hence, when one person in the interaction says “stop” or “leave me alone” or words to that effect, the interaction must end. In such case, attendees should not attempt to photograph that individual again. Lastly, the subject may inspect the screenshot/recording at any time and, if requested, the photograph or footage, etc as the case may be must be immediately deleted.
Screenshots and recordings might be taken by the organizers but it will be announced before it will be taken.

For independent bloggers, representatives of NGOs and partner institutions, any communications related activities, including, photo/film, video or audio recording for public use, a media release form must be filled out.
