A qualifying meeting must satisfy the following: both persons must be present (physically or virtually, as specified by <meet>) and engage in communication or interaction—mere presence in the same location without interaction does not constitute a meeting unless otherwise specified. The meeting must be confirmed by at least one Source Agency through official statement, press release, credible media report, or other documented evidence. The meeting must occur at any point during the time period; for meetings that span across the boundary of the time period, any portion of the meeting occurring within the time period is sufficient. Coincidental encounters without purposeful engagement (e.g., passing in a hallway without acknowledgment) do not count. Communication via intermediaries, written letters, or social media do not count unless specified. ## Evidence you can inspect _These labels describe how a claim relates to the question.

No individual review. It rests on 30 claims from 13 publishers; anything not reported in those sources is not represented here. The report recorded 4 resolution risks, listed with this brief. - The description mentions 'physically or virtually, as specified by ' but the question title says 'in person', creating potential ambiguity about whether virtual meetings qualify — the title suggests physical only but the template references virtual as a possibility - The term 'credible media report' as a qualifying source is subjective and could be disputed depending on the outlet - The phrase 'after Issuance' as the start boundary is undefined without knowing the exact issuance date/time - The end boundary is January 1, 2027 at 14:59:00Z — it is unclear if this is midnight UTC or a specific timezone cutoff, and whether meetings starting before but ending after this time qualify (though the description addresses spanning meetings) ## Publication history - Published 9 November 2026; research dated 9 November 2026. - Published 5 November 2026; research dated 5 November 2026. ## Since the previous brief Compared with research dated 5 November 2026.
