I don't believe that any of these have been posted. The info is from the latest ME Global Chronicle:

These four broadcasts constitute the last webinars of Prof. Light. On June 19, 2015 a last Q&A session with Prof. Light has been held. An extract will be published in the next issue of the ME Global Chronicle.

We owe our utter gratitude for his willingness and superb cooperation all through, in spite of his own extremely heavy time schedule. It has been a great pleasure and privilege working with him.

The team Science to Patients currently is working on the subtitles of three webinars from (Dutch) patients’ perspective, which will hopefully be broadcast next month.

After the summer seven webinars of Dr. Bateman will be broadcast. Four Q&A sessions will be held with her via chatwing.

All webinars together have been watched over 213.000 times by now. All webinars and transcripts can be seen and read here: http://www.me-cvsvereniging.nl/english-page

@Jonathan Edwards - in the fourth video, Prof Light talks about ME as an autoimmune condition and says he's working on some antibody studies. Were you aware of this work? It was news to me (or possibly it wasn't but with my memory, who knows).
