Hi all,

The FTWG would like to read 3 items at the December 2016 meeting.

Issues #1<https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-issues/issues/1> and #3<https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-issues/issues/3> (read together): Error Handler Rework (PR: mpi-forum/mpi-standard#1<https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-standard/pull/1>)
* Change default communicator for error handling to MPI_COMM_SELF
* Better define MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL to say that all processes are aborted
* Create new error handler (MPI_ERRORS_ABORT) to have similar semantics to MPI_ABORT
