<p style="font-size: small; font-family: arial; margin: 15px 0px 0px;">19 March 2015</p>
<p style="font-size: small; font-family: arial;">The CCWG-Accountability and the CWG-Stewardship will each hold a face-to-face meeting in Istanbul, Turkey the week of 23-27 March 2015. The CWG and CCWG leaders coordinated the location, agreeing that holding
their respective two-day meetings consecutively was the best way to apply resources and manage joint efforts.</p>
<p style="font-size: small; font-family: arial;">These decisive meetings are scheduled to help reinforce each group's respective project plans and timelines, both anticipating drafts for public comment in April.</p>
<p style="font-size: small; font-family: arial;">Meetings are open to observers<sup><a href="https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-03-19-en#foot1" name="ref1" title="ref1" id="ref1">1</a></sup> through Adobe Connect, and the working sessions will be
recorded and transcribed.</p>
