(1) so we have their direct permission:
(a) some don't want publicity - round here, some pub singarounds say they don't want too many - no room.
(b) some don't want certain details (eg phone) published, even if that information is available from the internet, so we need to hear from them directly. Just heard from an organisation that Zoom don't want them to publicise their log-in details as a risk to the security of the meeting.
(2) so that they receive our "Updates" reminders to update - we don't have time to check all entries frequently
