<div>Couple of relatively minor corrections:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3.2 OFIWG report:</div>
<div>To be clear, this should probably say:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"The SC17 Committee has accepted two BoFs from OFIWG as a single combined BoF. OFIWG will work with the MWG to promote the BoF."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>(all the rest of the text below should be deleted.)</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strike>The SC17 Committee accepted two Bird of a Feather discussions</strike></div>
<div><strike>(BoFs) from OFIWG but asked that they be merged into one BoF. Based upon the architectural work </strike></div>
<div><strike>that went into the creation of a</strike></div>
<div><strike>fabric-agnostic API, OpenFabrics is a natural fit for discussion of expanding the adoption of high </strike></div>
<div><strike>speed fabric APIs.</strike></div>
<div><strike>▪</strike><strike> The BoF description is as follows: "Application performance and scalability is affected by the </strike></div>
<div><strike>design and usability of network APIs. Open Fabrics libfabric</strike></div>
<div><strike>promises high-performance access to fabric services, through an implementation agnostic interface.”</strike></div>
<div><strike>• This BoF will begin with a series of lightning talks to share experiences related to developing </strike></div>
<div><strike>libfabric. It will conclude by proposing that Open Fabrics develop fabric extensions to the C++ </strike></div>
<div><strike>networking technical specification, for submission</strike></div>
<div><strike>to the ISO C++ standards committee."</strike></div>
<div> </div>
<div><strike>3</strike></div>
<div><strike>•</strike></div>
<div><strike>SC17 accepted a Birds of a Feather session on OFI and Persistent</strike></div>
<div><strike>Memory. As we get closer to SC17 OFIWG and MWG will promote the</strike></div>
<div><strike>BoF session.</strike></div>
<div> </div>
<div>5. Workshop Technical Program Committee</div>
<div> </div>
<div>o An announcement will be made around the start time of SC17 for a</div>
<div>‘Call for Papers’.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>>>pg - that should say 'Call for Sessions'. Historically, we haven't requested formal papers, just slides and a talk.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>o The Workshop Committee will begin group paper proposals to evaluate proposals for acceptance or </div>
<div>rejection or conditional acceptance.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>>>pg - this should say "The TPC will soon begin the process of soliciting proposals for sessions, and will be discussing the criteria for accepting proposals." </div>
<div> </div>
<div>o The sessions will be ½ hour multi-track lightning talks.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>>>pg - this should say, "As in past years, we should be looking at augmenting the historical format (1/2 hour slide talks) with e.g. lightning talks, single topic tracks and so on. No decisions have been made yet about the format."</div>
