CVC co-founder and co-chairman Donald Mackenzie intervene just hours before the start of the grand prix and saved the day.
Subsequently the teams have sent him a proposal laying out what they believe is a solution that would guarantee the survival of the smaller teams and which involves more equitable sharing of the money handed to the teams.
The trio are now set to meet with Ecclestone at Interlagos.
Sauber team boss Monisha Kaltenborn told Press Association: "The dialogue is ongoing and now we'll sit together here and see how it goes.
"Naturally it was important to get into this dialogue, but it's equally important to have actions taking place, not just talking.

Kaltenborn added that she believes a solution can be found.
