The rules clearly specify what constitutes a qualifying meeting, distinguishing direct interactions like handshakes or conversations from passive co-presence, and explicitly list the six Gulf Cooperation Council countries that qualify. However, resolution relies on a consensus of credible reporting rather than a designated official body or record, leaving discretion to the resolver to judge whether informal or disputed brief encounters at international summits count as direct interactions.

The primary resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.
