The three campaigns acknowledge that, to reach agreement, each campaign made compromises in good faith regarding the number, venues, and formats of the debates.  The candidates will not accept other debate invitations. 

 

Specific times will be established and announced.  The venues and panelists for the first three debates remain to be identified, and co-sponsors may be added.  To promote substantive answers, the campaigns have agreed that, for the first three debates, each candidate will have two minutes to answer a question and one minute for rebuttal.
