The meeting request I had expired 4/15/2011.  Do we want to resume it?

Couple topics of interest, actually on topic for our working group:
- Removing deprecated functions (e.g. MPI_UB, MPI_LB, etc.) from MPI 3.0.  They are still available via MPI 2.2 support, and an implementation can easily provide concurrent support for MPI 2.2 and MPI 3.0, should that be required.
- Defining the C++ bindings as optional in MPI 3.0.  This allows implementations that do not ship C++ bindings to be standard compliant.
- Removing C++ bindings from MPI 3.0.  This one goes counter to the previous one, but follows the same logic as for the other deprecated functions.  If we don't provide C++ bindings for new MPI 3.0 functionality, we should remove them from MPI 3.0.  They can still be supported via MPI 2.2 compliance.

Cheers,
-Fab
