Indeed, Earnie, this is such a case. There are three main content types that are under control of OG. Only one of those types needs to be protected from snooping eyes (editing is a different story). But the existence of that group is well known, because they are the controlling group. The content needs visibility protection, but not the name of the group itself.

Warren, yes and no. Someone could want to advertise the private group publicly while others would not want to do that. How would it compromise privacy to advertise the group? Think about the user registration option, there are three configuration options, it is the same idea for a group. Maybe should be public, protected and private where protected is visible by name but registration is by invitation.
