Who can attend Scrutiny Programme Board Meeting?

I hear there in confusion over who is allowed to attend Scrutiny Programme Board (SPB) meeting.

The ESBC Constitution Part 3I states:

RIGHT TO ATTEND

3.7 Meetings of the Committee shall be open to the press and public except for confidential business.
3.8 All Councillors formally appointed to the Board by the Council have the right to attend and to vote at meetings of the Board.
3.9 Other Councillors who are not formal members of the Board may attend any meeting and, with the consent of the Chairman, may address the Board.
The constitution appears to be quite clear and from item 3.9 above all members of the Council can attend the SPB meeting. 
 
Why is there so much confusion?
