Our goal was to produce a relatively quick turn-around version of the standard, with a big focus on clean-up and fixed terminology and only minor technical additions. While we have made good progress in this direction, several important items are still outstanding. I would like to use the September meeting to make a final collection of these items and with that start fixing a timeline that we can plan with (keep in mind, we need several voting meetings before the last idea being read and when a standard can be ratified).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>To enable this, it would be helpful if each working group and chapter committee could provide a list of items they still consider outstanding and needed for MPI 4.1.
