If the words “off the record” were used, that does feel stronger. I wasn’t there. My understanding was that “no recording and no transcript” was what was requested.
It may have been requested from the organizers and it may have been mentioned that there won’t be a recording, but as far as I remember it was not requested from the participants.
I don’t recall what phrase was used, but I thought that it was clear enough. If someone said that they agree to do a talk on the condition that there be no recording and no transcript, unlike every other talk in the series, it seems to take a really weird model of the situation to claim that you had no idea that they would not want people publicly posting notes. At the very least, it merits checking.
I think there’s a difference between “recording and transcript” and “some guy’s rough notes”. If the concern is journalist-quote-mining, the latter might be substantially less useful to a journalist while still be useful to people in the community.
I agree that checking would have been a good idea, but notes definitely feel they like they fall in ambiguous zone given what was said according to people’s reports.
