Remember, this whole discussion is about a) taking pictures, and b)
publishing them. Avoid either, and we should be completely save. Do
both, and it still takes at least one person to take offense to the point
where he calls police or runs to a lawyer, proof, a judge finding that the
privacy rights of the person have been violated, and so on.
People take pictures in meetings all the time, in Germany and elsewhere.
Folks exceed the speed limit (yes, even in Germany large stretches of the
freeway system and all other roads have a speed limit :-). In either
case, many say that the risk is in an acceptable relationship with the
benefits.

The issue with John's purpose is that he is taking a picture
of the audience(!), and if you take such a picture from the
front in a small meeting room, there might a small number of
folks end up _prominently_ in the foreground of that picture,
at which point their consent will be required.
Again, IANAL and I don't think you are either, so I don't want
to argue "prominently" versus "non-prominently". I can assure
that, when pictures were used, the clear intent was the everyone
with his or her hand up was individually identifiable and almost
everyone else was too.
