The next call is on Wednesday at 10am US Central time (as usual) and we’ll be discussing (among other things) how to modify our rules, so we can move forward during the Corona travel restrictions. Hence, it would be great if most of you could make it, so we get a complete picture of how everyone thinks about the ideas.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The login information is available via:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-standard/wiki/virtual-forum-meeting-information" class="">https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-standard/wiki/virtual-forum-meeting-information</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The agenda is:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- Discussion on holding virtual meetings (with voting) and the necessary rule changes</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- Wesley has prepared a presentation to show the options</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- Discussion on structure and agenda for the June meeting if it is virtual</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- We have a proposal on length, scope, timing and structure</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- Check-in on Chapter Committee progress (see Bill’s latest email)</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- This is a prerequisite before we can do any other changes or merges</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- Please prioritize this and complete the reviews by Wednesday!</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- Plan to move the smaller changes for MPI 4.0 forward</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- Mainly based on the list of the 120+ issues Bill found</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- Collection of topics for future virtual meetings</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- Pre-readings, possible errata discussions</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- Other WG discussion topics?</div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Martin</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">PS: To all chapter committee chairs and chapter committee members: if you haven’t done so, yet, please take a look at Bill’s email where he asked for input on several issues!
