It does not specify consent to what, and there is no broadly agreed model
of what that consent form might look like. So images like this one would
have to be deleted:

In my view that is not acceptable, and if we're going to write a proposed
replacement/refinement/update, the most important thing to do is to address
that point.
Pete, that photograph is from The Official White House Photostream. This
rather implies that the subjects or their representatives waived their
reasonable expectation of privacy.
The board resolution requires that a photo taken in a private place carry
affirmation of consent. Please note the word OR -- not the word AND. It
doesn't matter if the people in the photo waived an expectation of privacy,
if they are in a private place. Affirmation of consent (to something poorly
defined) is still required.
