Dear Sajid,

Thank you for this comment - we certainly agree and we will address this in the next version of the MPI standard.

Hi MPI-Forum,

This is request to move away from the master-slave terminology currently used in the following locations in the 2019 draft specification :
 - section 6.4.1 : page 256, line 46
 - example 6.5.3 page 272 and page 273
These would be better described by supervisor/executor or manager/worker or anything the members of "Groups, Contexts, Communicators, Caching" working group see fit.

Thank You,
