Publically Accessible but Restricted Participation Group

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I have an OG drive site that currently has two kinds of groups--private and public. One issue I am running into is dealing with how to display a private group exists (for example in a view listing all groups) while still restricting access.

The bigger issue that I am running into is how I might create a public-ally accessible group but restricting participation to true members?

Is this something I can do with OG as is or do I need to look at adding code?
