Agenda

1. deprecate MPI_Cancel for send requests (issue #26 on git)

   Reminder of straw poll results from face-to-face meeting in Dec 2015

    Option	Votes  Description
    1       0      make erroneous
    2       0      clarify text & make optional & deprecate
    3       5      clarify text & make optional
    4       11     deprecate
   

   Decision: create two branches in git; 1) for a pure errata to MPI-3.1 that only changes the errata doc; 2) for a full change to MPI- that changes the main document text.

   Dan to create git branches, co-ordination and approval of results via email list.

2. assertions via info keys (issue #11 on git).

   Decision: changes from previous reading have already been applied in git. Issue just needs to be read again.

   Jim to create "remove change markers" commit in pull-request git branch.

3. allocating recv and freeing send

   Decision: prepare a plenary presentation to socialise the ideas and prior art arguments.

   Jeff and Dan to discuss precise semantics and produce a slide deck. Input and approval via email list.
