While the st andard\nsocial network paradigm assumes that network data has been collect ed\nthough eliciting ties from respondents in a predefined set of\nindivid uals\, covert networks pose obviously challenges in several\nrespects. Fir stly\, the individuals in the network might not be known\na prior. Second ly\, what constitutes a relevant set of individuals and\nties might be amb iguous.\n DTSTAMP:20250708T231653Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
