[Mpi-forum] Proposed Update the MPI Forum Rules

[Schulz Martin]

Hi Aurelien, all,

Jeff and I have discussed this as well, but thought the ratification
process is important enough to also warrant the two vote rule, as do
regular text items. The reasoning was that there will always be some
changes in the RCM (even if they are minor) and this would give people a
time to think about them. However, that is certainly a good point for
discussion to allow a quick path if there are really no changes pending
(something like allowing the RCM and FRM to be at the same meeting with
the two votes separated by at least one night). How does the rest of the
group feel about this?

Thanks!

Martin
