You don't need a list. You can just say "Anyone mind if I take photos?"
and if nobody minds, then you are fine. Its really easy. Overengineering
this process, with lists, lanyards and no-photo zones is absurd, you
simply need to use old-fashioned human communication.
I've been to many events where this is the policy and it is not
complicated, and not a burden on the photographer. Its as simple as
communicating between humans.
