The original question was about about whether it is okay to publish 
pictures of a person for just being on the premises.  The short 
answer is that the photographer could ask the person whether he/she 
is okay with having his/her photo taken.

The Note Well is about activities such as working group sessions or a 
plenary [1].  The question here would be about whether it is 
appropriate for the organization to publish audio/video recordings of 
those activities.  That would be covered by a privacy policy.  There 
isn't a simple answer as each country has its own laws.  The 
discussion about what is public highlights the differences.
