Looking at the old thread on the LA list, it looks like the consensus
was reached there to make it part of LCA, similar to how the BoF events
are run. Executives of LUGs could apply for grants from LCA for
assistance travelling if it can be shown they can't otherwise make it,
or something.

As far as how open it can be, I don't have an issue with making it open,
but intended for LUG committee members or their equivalents.

IRC meetups are a great extension to the idea, though.
