_(Management Committee Resolution: M-2025-M16-M1)_

## Scope:

This bylaw applies to all members, representatives, and guests of Better Transport Queensland (BTQ) who attend events not open to the general public in an official or affiliated capacity.

## Requirements:

When sharing content from such events on social media platforms not affiliated with BTQ, attendees must provide clear and prominent acknowledgment of BTQ using the full name of the association: Better Transport Queensland. The acknowledgment must be tailored to the format of the content as follows:

- **Video Content**
  - If the video includes a voiceover: BTQ must be acknowledged verbally.
  - If the video includes captions: BTQ must be acknowledged within the captions.
  - In all cases: BTQ must be prominently acknowledged in the video description.

- **Still Photography**
  - BTQ must be prominently acknowledged in the post description.
  - If a description is not possible (e.g., platform limitations), acknowledgment must be included in the image caption.

- **Temporary Content (e.g., Stories)**
  - If the story includes spoken word: BTQ must be acknowledged verbally.
  - BTQ must also be acknowledged as a prominent on-screen text element.

These requirements may be waived at the discretion of the management committee in extenuating circumstances.

## Purpose:

These requirements ensure transparency, reinforce BTQ’s public presence, and maintain consistency in external communications.
