Hi, A possibly dumb question, but one that needs clarification for those of us who were not at the March MPI Forum meeting. The new voting rules propose a “Release Candidate Meeting (RCM)” and a “Final Ratification Meeting”. For MPI-3.1, is the March meeting considered to be the “Release Candidate” meeting and we are on track to have final ratification of MPI-3.1 in June, or will June be the RCM and final ratification would occur in September? - Steve -----Original Message----- From: Martin Shulz <[email protected]> Reply-To: Main MPI Forum mailing list <[email protected]> Date: Monday, April 13, 2015 at 1:13 AM To: Main mailing list <[email protected]> Subject: [Mpi-forum] Proposed Update the MPI Forum Rules

Hi all,

As discussed at the last forum meeting, Jeff and I drafted an updated version of the MPI rules/voting document that we want to propose to the MPI forum and that, if accepted, is intended to cover the MPI 3.1 ratification. The document is attached and all changes compared to the previous document are marked in red. The idea was to basically write up the process we followed at the last meeting and that most seemed to like. Questions and comments are, of course, welcome – our intent is to publish a final version with comments included by May 4th, i.e., 4 weeks before the June forum, and then put this document up for a vote at the meeting.

Thanks!

Martin
