Please send any announcement, as usual, to the entire forum list. Also, if there are any other requests for the agenda, please let me know. I will combine them with the requests I have already gotten and create an agenda in the coming days.

I would like to have an errata reading (ticket 69) in the September meeting;

https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-issues/issues/69
https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-standard/pull/113

Wesley suggested to have an errata reading, not as a ticket0. This update is a byproduct of the FP16 changes (but no accepted anyway).

This is a very simple changes;

- updating IEEE 754 standard reference (from old 1985 to new 2008)
- change the verbatim table of the type names and sizes to latex tables in 
	Subsection 13.5.2 "External Data Representation: 'external32'"
- a minor wording changes (see below)
	These are the IEEE“Single (binary32),”“Double (binary64),”and
	“Double Extended (binary128)” formats, requiring 4, 8, and 
	16 bytes of storage, respectively.

I think it will take not more than 10 minutes.
