Plus, where there are contract discussions, employment details and problem resolution (with legal and privacy implications or potential liability for slander/libel) are all reasons why some discussions must be kept private. Talk selection, where some talks are necessarily rejected, are better done in a "non public" space so reviewers are free to speak their mind.

There are lots of reasons / places where "completely open" is not the best model alongside the very genuine "we need to stop answering armchair critics and actually get stuff done".

May you do good and not evil
May you find forgiveness for yourself and forgive others
May you share freely, never taking more than you give.
