I'm not overly concerned about how other stakes interpret "broadcasting". I'm more interested that everyone is aware of the policy and have discussed the issue with their priesthood leaders. If the leaders need clarification, they can go up the chain to get an answer.
One thing that I find odd is that there is no apparent restriction on other rooms. On the surface it would seem that any unit could hold a public broadcast of Gospel Essentials or any other Sunday School, Priesthood, or Relief Society meeting. I don't believe that is the intent. I believe that only the Brethren and the heads of the General Auxiliaries are to preach to the public at large.
Assuming that others accept that, then the question is how does that shape the interpretation of
"broadcasting" from the chapel when it is clearly more restrictive than for other meetings?
Also, why would the Handbook spell out an explicit exception for Stake Conference if a simple building-to-building webcast is not considered "broadcasting"?
