Meeting Definition:

In is 1966 book, William Craig wrote that a meeting is "the coming together for the transaction of a common lawful object of two or more persons" and that "it follows ... that no one person alone can constitute a meeting.... no one shareholder or member in himself can form a meeting."

This is no longer completely accurate as modern company law as reflected in the statutes of most jurisdictions allow single-person corporations and the such corporations can convene single-person meetings by themselves for the purposes of transacting business, and would normally duly record the decisions they make at those one person meetings.
