That's actually Corp speak for it's not completely obligatory. I have meetings where it's if you can attend you need to be in it. And then I have meetings where it doesn't matter what you are doing you have to be in that meeting barring an emergency.

I'm reading it as, "You don't technically have to attend, but we'll remember who wasn't there when it's time for performance reviews."
