When to stop the discussion on the record.

I'm working on a deposition now where the attorneys decided to stop and reschedule the deposition because the skype was not working properly (I already told this story.)

At the end they never tell me to go off the record, but they talk for a few pages about rescheduling the deposition and like their availability and things like that.  It doesn't seem like this stuff should stay on the record, but I'm afraid to take it out.

I'm having a problem transcribing this depostiong, concidering I was the one handeling the skype.  I was in and out of my seat the whole time and my recorder picked everything up; the problem is, I don't know what is on or off the record.

I would put everything in the record, except for the parts where you left your seat.  In those areas I would put (Discussion held off the record.) or (Reporter reconnecting Skype.) or something along those lines.

Just out of abunance of caution, I would type it all.  That entire scenario was yucked, out.  You don't want to give him any excuse to complain about anything else. 

I agree with GeGe.  Transcribe all of it. 

By the way, it is outrageous that you were expected to write and run Skype at the same time.    And these attorneys knew that, but they took advantage of a young, new reporter. 

I would agree with Angela.  I would have asked if they wanted this on the record or not.
