[CHAOSS] [wg-di] Working Group Team Discussions on Github

It is actually, in the functionality to post publicly, or for just team.
However, the only options we have are for 'private or CHAOSS org'.   From
reading the documentation, it seems that this setting to allow 'public
posts',  is Github org-level.  Can someone help me?  (wiling to hop on a
call with me to figure it out perhaps).

Thanks
