The full standard-draft that we will vote on at the next meeting is in the svn and at http://www.unixer.de/sec/mpi-report.pdf .

CORRECTION: We will not be voting. This will be the formal reading. Ok, remember that #109 is voted into MPI-3. I was not aware that we also read chapters after we voted in all the parts. So we will then be reading every item twice and will vote on every item four times, correct?

We should really have a writeup of those rules and for the directions we chose to go with the draft standards and MPI-3 in general. I am still convinced that we should call the current draft MPI-2.3 and release it. We can read it and vote on it as many times as we want, however, I fear that we have to read/vote chapter 5 again for MPI-3 even though the changes are probably trivial.

From Rich's May 23rd email:

"NOTE: We will have the formal reading of the mpi-3 version of the nonblocking collective operations. The plan is have votes for the MPI-3 version of the standard on the following two meetings. If an organization wants to participate in such a vote, a representative must be present for 2 of the last three meeting, including the meeting at which the vote is taking place. I expect that for the rest of the MPI-3 standardization effort there will be official votes on the standard at most meetings." CORRECTION: We already voted on the nonblocking collectives #109. This is a formal reading of the draft Chapter 5 for inclusion in a draft MPI-3 standard.
