China tightens Web-video Rules – CZ pulls the plug on Video Taping Board Meetings.

January 5, 2007

China issued new regulations that stipulate online videos can be broadcast only by state-controlled companies. According to the article titled China tightens Web-Video Rules published by the Wall Street Journal on January 4 - private operators brace for new censorship moves.

Online-video technology potentially poses a major challenge to the Communist Party’s control of information, as does the Internet to HOA/CID governance. As the former CZ Master association general manager might say, “anyone can publish a web page or a newsletter to inform or misinform”, then went on to misinform. Take for example the latest CZ Master association Newsletter: The Delegate’s Corner column legislates that there are no problems on Coto – it is a paradise! - and if you are told otherwise, do not believe it.

To add to the (CZ BOD) credibility gap, the CZ Master association is calling a special delegate’s meeting to vote on changes that would finally bring direct democracy to the community. We have said such meeting is an oxymoron, analogous to the security company voting to get additional work (which apparently they are getting) or delegates saying there are no problems in the community (delegates are significantly vested in the community).

“A spokesman for YouTube said the rules could be cause for concern, and are being studied by the company”, according to the WSJ’s article - referring to the new Chinese censorship initiatives. In Coto de Caza, the board pulled the plug on video taping board meetings, arguing the cost to be too high – a couple of hundred dollars per taping – some eight times per year! – such cost is significantly less than what the association is spending trying to ram down resident’s throats a corrupt delegate system.

China tightens Web-video Rules – CZ pulls the plug on Video Taping alleging a high cost and resident apathy - after only three tapings!
