Hi, Michael!

  While I know the videos themselves are saved somewhere, for some period of time, I don't think they're routinely posted publicly after the meeting is adjourned. I believe they are used to help the staff liaisons construct the summaries available on each committee's page, way at the bottom, below the names of all the committee members. For example, a summary of the most recent meeting of the board of directors isn't posted to https://optn.transplant.hrsa.gov/about/board-of-directors/ yet, but the August 21st meeting is: https://optn.transplant.hrsa.gov/media/lxlc5wet/optn-bodmtg-summary-082125-508.pdf . Contact info for the liaison for each committee is on the committee's page, and any public requests for committee related information should go to them. I'm not sure the videos are retained for any length of time, and I don't know what the staff targets are for getting summaries posted to the website. There's a lot in flux at the moment.
