BALC has been approached by a company called AudioMinute who provide webcasting equipment. Below is their email:
"We've been talking to Essex County Council and Essex Association of Local Councils about Audio webcasting for local councils. The level of interest from smaller organisations has really surprised us. Perhaps your members will be similarly impressed; please circulate this email for us.
The background is that communities now have an expectation that public information will be accessible, and local decision making will be transparent. Also, now the public has the right to record meetings, councils of all sizes are increasingly concerned about the opportunities for their recorded words to be misrepresented.
Audiominutes helps; it combines a simple to use app and cloud based webservices making audio webcasting a reality at all levels of local government. Meetings are streamed live and made available from an archive (see attached example).
I've attached a video presentation which shows how
Audiominutes works for larger authorities. In the case of smaller
organisations, our 'Lite' version lets you create meetings and agendas via
email without the need for expensive third party systems.
If you are interested, please
contact us - thanks in advance."
