Expectations for public comment

I began participation in the MPI-2 Forum in Jan 96 and at that time it
was already a given that a document would be presented for public
comment at SC96. We added a day to each meeting and pushed hard to be
ready for that presentation. To me that implied that at least many
Forum members had expectations that the public (whoever that may be)
would react.

So, I must turn the "What were you expecting" question that Anna
addressed to me into a question addressed to those members of the Forum
who participated in the decision to target SC96.

======================================================================
To all: If you are one of those who felt SC96 was an important target
event; What were you expecting?
======================================================================

Perhaps answer enough is, "To prove to the public that the MPI-2 Forum
has not been sleeping or disbanded".
