There are two ways to read this. One is that you must rent a conference room to prove you have a business need to use the club. The other is that renting a room is one way to demonstrate that need. I've had no problem previously getting a pass at JFK to sit in the club for a few hours. And that was with a PClub membership.
I'd wait for an official statement clarifying the language before sharpening my pitchfork and lighting my torch on this one.
