You have to ask - why not? All present must be aware it is being taped. I have been in meetings where conversations are taped - if you feel that you may be misrepresented, it is a good idea to tape it yourself too (or get a second copy made) so that you have a definitive record in case the tape is altered in some way. The police, for example usually make two copies, one for their use and a second for the person interviewed.

I would say as long as everyone present knows and consents to the meeting being taped, it is legal. Is would actually make sense to try to tape meetings for future reference and to record accurately what happened during the meeting. As long as all members agree, I see no legal problem with this.

I think it is legal for any meeting to be taped, but the rules are:
All persons must know that they are being taped,
All persons must consent to being taped,
and the tapes are not to be used for any public broadcasting, only as records or secretarial minutes.

They might be able to tape them but I'm pretty sure that they would not be allowed to be say, used in evidence in court.
