Hello,

here are the answers to the questions:

1. We definitely publish our FOSS4G Videos at TIB AV-Portal - there is a 
great team at TIB AV-Portal and the workflow and rules are defined - see 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS_for_GIS_video_tutorials_and_screencasts#Where_to_publish_your_screencast

2.  who administrates the youtube account?
I can administrate the account and find some more volunteers.
One volunteer already showed up.

3. Information about FOSS4G videos
There is a video section in the FOSS4G handbook already. We could add 
the youtube information
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_Handbook#Videos

4. License
The videos neet to have the CC BY-SA 4.0 License (speaker have to agree
in advance).
At events the speaker have to agree to this license before. Else no 
upload is possible (same as for TIB AV-Portal)
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/

5. Video Committee
There was an idea to create a video committee. Preparation was done here
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Video_Committee

6. workflow to bring the videos to youtube
* for FOSS4G there will be a script that automatically uploads the 
videos see https://github.com/voc/voctopublish/blob/master/voctopublish/
* for other events a temporary storage on a server is needed to refer to 
the videos and upload them (should work also automatically)

7. Why Youtube? pro / cons
* people search at youtube and will find FOSS4G videos here too
* pro immediate access to the videos -> TIB AV-Portal needs some weeks
* no longterm archive -> we also have TIB AV-Portal for this
* for FOSS4G 2019 it is just another place for the videos: we already 
have https://av.tib.eu/ https://media.ccc.de/

8. Promote the channel
If we decide to use the channel and use it also for other events we 
would promote it when we hear about upcoming OSGeo events. But no must. 
If events still would like to use their own channel that would be fine.
