[WebPub] MIT YouTube accounts

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone here has experience maintaining YouTube accounts 
for MIT organizations. YouTube has started hiding features behind 
"monetization". My understanding is that MIT's policy is that our web 
presence is not allowed to have advertising (though I'm actually unable to 
find that policy now - has it been garbage collected?), so we haven't 
signed up for monetization yet. But in the past few months, more and more 
features require that you enable monetization on your channel, which 
requires creating an AdSense account.

Does anyone on this list have experience with this? Is there a standard 
MIT AdSense account to link to? I think it should be possible to sign the 
agreement and then disable advertising on the channel, but I'm not even 
sure who would authorize the signing of the agreement.

Thanks,
--Quentin
