[Nfb-history] recording my state convention

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi fellow Federationists,

I'm very happy to say that I'm now definitely going to my state 
convention in Ocean City, Maryland!!! I've also been asked to 
speak at the NFBMD general session on my experiences at the 
Leadership and Advocacy in Washington (LAW) Program, which I 
attended back in April! Now, I'd love to record what parts of my 
state convention I can, and use my recordings both for my own use 
and that of other interested people.  For those of you who 
recorded national convention, did you need special permission to 
do so from the Federation? What is involved in recording an NFB 
state or national convention? I don't have any professional 
recording equipment, as Peter and others on this list do, but I 
plan on recording either with my BrailleNote or with my Victor 
Stream, which both have pretty clear microphones, in my opinion.  
I don't intend to sell the recordings, just to record the parts 
of the convention I choose to go to, then post a message to this 
list and the NFBMD list, asking people on those lists if they 
would be interested in obtaining one or more of the recordings, 
and if so to email me off list.  I would then email them the 
recordings in a WAV format.  If the staff would like me to, I can 
also send the recordings to the tenBroek library for archiving.  
For those who have recorded conventions before, what did you have 
to do to record the sessions and give them to interested people, 
if anything? Thanks for any help!

Chris

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance." -- Kenneth Jernigan (President of the National 
Federation of the Blind, 1968-1986.)
