Difficulty with a guild for the guild officers is that you can’t access guild chat unless you’re repping, which may make it impractical for some uses.

what would you tie this channel to? Default officer rank? So what about custom ranks?

Presumably, you’d tie it to a new permission. I’m still pretty fuzzy on the why, though. You surely don’t need a secret clubhouse to discuss PvP or dungeoneering, but I’m not sure what use case is other than super-secret guild meetings.

In which case, if you’re already going to be asking everybody to be online at a specific time, it’s not crazy to request that everybody use some ad-hoc chat or voice comms, whether that’s Vent or TS or IRC or Skype or whatever. (That doesn’t mean it’s a bad/crazy/frivolous/whatever use case for GW2, but it may mean it doesn’t muster a high enough priority to get implemented soon.)

A generalized solution would probably be something like FFXI/FFXIV’s link shells. Which would be kinda nice for managing group chat across parties of friends without colliding with squad chat for WvW players or whatever.
