Mirja has already responded about the purpose behind the meetings
(essentially: to inform the IAB and prompt IAB discussions) and the purpose
behind advertising them more widely for people that want to obverse them
(they've always been publicly announced on the IAB agenda page, but others
have said they missed ones they'd be interested in attending).

But I did want to call out one point above: very little of the IAB meetings
are private.  You're just as welcome to come listen to our more
administrative meetings (where we do often discuss what future items should
go into the technical presentations).  The only time we generally dive into
executive sessions is when discussing appointing individuals to roles that
the IAB is responsible for making appointments (eg, liaison managers to
other SDOs).  You're welcome to attend and listen to any of the meetings as
observers, and this has been the case for at least 4 years and was trending
toward that direction even longer I think.
