You won't get a clarification from FIRST on this, but I hope this helps.

Everything your team does reflects what "real" companies do. Your team has to purchase materials, maintain a schedule, advertise and so on. Your teams website is the public face of your team. What do you want the public to see?

I want the public to know that they can come to any meeting, anytime. I don't want them to have to hunt for that info.
I want them to know about the team and what the teams means to the students on the team.
I want to know about FIRST and how FIRST is culture changing.
I want my sponsors to be proud of the team and link to it from their website and talk about it in their communications.

I don't want them seeing disagreements or postings between students.
I don't want other teams seeing internal discussions about build.

A company cannot allow internal discussions to become public.
