Where the reports disagree
1Whether the meeting is held in-person in Washington or is fully virtual
the IAC will host its inaugural meeting at 1 p.m. EST on Aug. 20, in Washington.
The virtual format of the meeting, confirmed through a Federal Register notice, means industry participants and the public can observe proceedings without traveling to Washington.

2Duration/end time of the meeting
today announced the IAC will host its inaugural meeting at 1 p.m. EST on Aug. 20, in Washington.
The meeting runs from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EDT
What would settle it: The Federal Register notice or CFTC meeting agenda specifying start and end times.
What to make of it
Treat the meeting's date, sponsor, and Designated Federal Officer as established, but do not assume the meeting's format or precise duration until the Federal Register notice or CFTC's own scheduling documents are checked.
