Yahoo disallows that and for good reason. It is uncool to have a private group go public in case any comments were made with expectation of privacy (not likely an issue for our use case but for discussion groups in general, imagine if a private group where abuse victims discussed their issues suddenly were made public... bad news there.)
Thanks,
