Hi all, Our face-to-face meeting in New York is getting near, and today is the two-week deadline for reading and ballot announcements. If you have any, please send them to the list before the end of the day. Also, if there are any other items for a plenary, please let me know. In general, we are fairly light on official items (kind of expected), and running WG meetings is tricky, as always. On the other hand, we should use the time for some strategic planning towards MPI 6.0: what are the big topics, what is their priority, what should be gating issues, and do we have the right WGs for this? I will also contact all WG chairs directly, but it would be great if all WGs could prepare a discussion on what should be done in the respective WGs for MPI 6.0 and where we should take it technically. If there are any topics outside the existing WG structure, please let me know as well. Thanks!
