[tc] Moving IRC meetings to project channels

Hello,

In the guidance to PTLs for the freenode to OFTC migration, there was
this guideline:

> The TC is asking that projects take advantage of this time of change to consider moving project meetings from the #openstack-meeting* channels to their project channel.

I was surprised since it was the first time I heard about this
suggested change. The project team guide [1] actually still states the
following:

> The OpenStack infrastructure team maintains a limited number of channels dedicated to meetings. While teams can hold meetings on their own team IRC channels, they are encouraged to use those common meeting channels to give their meeting some external exposure. The limited number of meeting channels encourages teams to spread their meetings around and reduce conflicts.

Is there any background regarding this proposed change? Not that I am
against it in any way: I have participated in meetings in both kinds
of channels and haven't really seen any difference.

Thanks,
Pierre Riteau (priteau)
