Hotel wants to avoid undesirable guests. Seems reasonable.

It wasn't public until a an investigative journalist wrote an article about it after the membership of the group was exposed first. Per TFA:

> A leaked schedule for the “retreat” hosted by Dialog, an invitation-only group

The group used to be pretty secretive and unknown until a hacker managed to discover Dialog not protecting their membership data properly - and found, among others, a shit ton of billionaires [1] and politicians including former German health minister Jens Spahn [2].

I guess if you think you're meeting is a secret then you can just say what your agenda is out in the open.

I mean there's no question these guys are the baddies, right? Look at every reason Peter Thiel has been in the news for the last year
