If you make it ATC only, you've just restricted it to no newcomers, which is exclusive again. I think it wants to be open to all design summit attendees regardless of ATC status. Since there's no separate badge, I think you keep the OpenStack summit attendees out by judicious advertising. Perhaps, say, only advertise on openstack-dev@ and posters at the actual design summit?
