For me that sounds that the ACO will integrate the LM24 into WEC calendar, but the event will not be a part of the championship.
The ACO retains control and rights for Le Mans, they will organise and promote the other events.

The ACO are running the WEC on behalf of the FIA, in the old days it was centrally controlled from the FIA, including commercial rights, something the EU put a stop to.
