 When I signed onto WebEx for the USPTO's #CounterfeitRoundtable, I was informed the session was being recorded. So I asked, in the chat, if the recording would be made available. I was told that the recording was "for internal purposes only." 

But why? If it's a public event, why not share the recording of the public comments? 
 I mean, I assume there's some nonzero cost to storing the video. But it sounds like they'll be doing that anyway. 
 @e7f76f0d I mean, FOIA, I guess? It's not like that's going to be better for them than just sticking it up somewhere.
