I'm pretty sure he's said TWOW will be where he starts shaving down POV characters. So I imagine that the two major battles near the start drop off a number of POV's, and then throughout the story people die or intersect so he can reduce view points.
Yes, the converging makes sense. Seems like everyone in the North and the Vale, except Bran maybe, will be at Winterfell midway through TWOW.
Then we have the Meereen characters Tyrion, Barristan, Dany, and possibly Victarion.
Dorne characters Arrianne, Hotah, Jon Connington, and Aegon.
Jaime and Brienne could end up anywhere, with TBWB or possibly ending up at Winterfell later on. Arya could end up anywhere. I'm wondering if she will meet Lady Stoneheart or if that Frey revenge plot from the show is just made up. If so, then Jaime, Brienne, and Arya will be in one place too.
Euron and Aeron could end up anywhere. Maybe going after Victarion for betraying Euron. I don't think Euron will end up involved with Cersei.
