There will be a one week delay before posting any webcasts. This means Open Meetings will be posted 2nd Friday of the Month. This is to ensure that anyone needing something edited out may in fact have enough time to tell me about it before it gets posted for all the tribe to hear.
We will only strike content from the webcast provided that a written request (e-mail, PM, hand written letter, FAX, ad nauseum) is submitted to the administrator (Doug Hatcher). This request should make plain the portion to be edited and a valid reason for doing so.
At this point, valid reasons for editing the webcast include, but not necessarily limited to:
- Preventing the spread of slander. For example, If someone stood up and announced that Snuffy was a axe murderer, and the claim turned out to be false, We would strike the remark, or if necessary the relevant exchange, from the webcast.
- Omitting detailed discussion of tribal strategy that could damage the tribe if the webcast fell in to the wrong hands. Waccamaw.org will not actively work against the tribe. Any explicit discussion of pending court cases (or anything along those lines) will be removed. The full exchange will be kept and posted when the time comes that its no longer potentially harmful.
All edits will be documented with the webcast. There will not be any undocumented edits. Clearly, if it were explained in detail what was omitted, it would be just as bad – if not worse – than if nothing was done, So don’t complain if the explanation is a little cryptic.
