The next group of these are the Fortran style changes, restricted to *not* include the change in lettercase for the Fortran keywords. As some of these had to be disentangled from commits that both fixed style issues and lettercase, these need to be reviewed again. They were posted quite a while back, but only a few reviews were received. In retrospect, I needed to set up a separate column in the signoff spreadsheet, which I’ve now done. You will find that in Column E, labeled “Editor Fortran style updates (revised)”; the spreadsheet is in the same place:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qPAREYgeuSCMtU-EQniDilrHIYb8W0-f6Qzjp-UtnH8/edit?usp=sharing" class="">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qPAREYgeuSCMtU-EQniDilrHIYb8W0-f6Qzjp-UtnH8/edit?usp=sharing</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Please do the following (if you are a chapter chair):</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">1) If everything is fine with the changes, enter YES in the column and row for your chapter(s).</div><div class="">2) If you find a problem that needs to be changed (not something that you want to add), then:</div><div class=""> a) Enter NO</div><div class=""> b) Enter a comment on the PR page ( <a href="https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-standard/pull/145" class="">https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-standard/pull/145</a> ) about the issue</div><div class=""> c) If I am able to make the correction, change your entry to YES</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">3) ANY OTHER ENTRY WILL BE CONSIDERED A NO. This is the same interpretation used for the other reviews - and using this sheet to communicate changes has already slowed down the process of applying these edits.</div><div class=""><div class=""><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;"><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you are on a chapter committee, please help your chapter chair. Others are welcome to review and communicate issues either on the PR page or with the appropriate chapter chair.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div></div></div><div class="">I’d like to apply the Fortran style changes as soon as possible, and certainly within a week (April 1st, an appropriate day).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks for your help!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Bill</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
