In the meeting today, we discussed changing the schedule for the Sept meeting in Vienna.  Since we are at a transition stage between MPI 3.0 and “MPI-next”, we decided to reduce the meetings from a 3 day meeting to a 2 day meeting -  Sept 20-21, 2012.  If someone knows of a reason to go back to a three day agenda, please let us know ASAP.  The proposed agenda includes:

Thursday – Sept 20^th

****************

9-10 :  Discussion of outside comments on the MPI 3.0 draft

10-12 : MPI 3.0: chapter votes

12-1 :  lunch

Friday – Sept 21

If there are other topics that should be added to the agenda, please let me know ASAP.
