Martin:

Can you assign one of the two slots for the large-count WG on Monday
to be a joint meeting with the greq WG?  Again, this assumes Fab will
not veto this plan...

One of my main motivations for better greqs is large-count nonblocking
collectives, so it makes sense to me to combine the discussion.  The
other motivation for this at the San Jose meeting is that there's not
time for a separate greq WG session since I'm otherwise obligated on
Tuesday and it seems imprudent to overlap with WGs that Pavan is
driving since he has expressed interest.

Thanks!

Jeff
