I'd love to volunteer for one. :) I think Ron's mantra ("we watch, we wait, we learn, we apply") is a great one. The church should not jump on every technological bandwagon, since things shift so rapidly. It's best to sit tight, wait to see what becomes a standard or big success (such as RSS or viral video), and then apply it. I wonder how they select their focus groups?

The broad terms of the YouTube license are immediately revoked if the video is removed by the user: "The foregoing license granted by you terminates once you remove or delete a User Submission from the YouTube Website." (From <a href="http://www.youtube.com/t/terms" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">YouTube Terms of Service</a>.) If the goal is to get as many people to see these videos as possible, YouTube is a good idea. Videos can always be removed later if necessary.

Their terms of service state anything posted there becomes property of YouTube, and can be used in any way they see fit. That does not mean stuff will not be posted unofficially, but in that case the true copyright owner can still control, but if the copyright owner posts, they are giving it to YouTube. Unsure on terms of service on other video services, but it seems likely that if the Church posts videos it will be on their own sites. Don’t look to the Church to start posting videos on YouTube.
