Here's a concrete example. Photos of IETF plenaries have been published, 
online or otherwise, in various formats and venues,
such as on Facebook or on blogs. Sometimes I've spotted myself in the 
photos, in at least one case very visibly. However, it
is impratical to check with every single person attending the plenary to ask 
their permission ot publish the photos. Should
they be allowed to be published? I think so, even though I wasn't asked at 
the time.

The Note Well would not cover the above example as the venues do not look 
like venues where the organization conducts its work. 
There are country-specific laws which regulate the publication of an image of 
a person.

Again, the Note Well doesn't replace local laws. It's a general warning that
you may be recorded and the recording may be published. If you get photographed 
in
Germany and it's published outside Germany, for example, I wouldn't place much
faith in the courts.
