Because this isn't just about your precious time, but about the possibility to bring a broader public into these meetings. The Internet at large, you know... Sure, ICANN staff will ultimately take care of travel arrangements for ALAC members and other appointees, modulo the usual little signals such as not being put into the same hotel as the board members.
