Some are required by organizational rules/bylaws/regulations/etc. Some occur at a high level. Like any team meeting, as long as these have a purpose, a priority, an agenda and an outcome, than it is okay to utilize them towards the betterment of the organization. That said, there are some things to be aware of that can drag down the effectiveness of these longer baseline teams if you are not careful.
