CIW NB SIG,

Distribution of a draft of the nonblocking contribution has been
postponed until the March CIW meeting due to some concerns about
the requirements.

Please be prepared for the following questions.  I hope to receive
you input at the work group meeting on 3/16.

  (1) What is your requirement on Wait_For_Completion?

      In the first CIW meeting, the requirement presented was
      a "generalized wait facility" provided by the event
      management component of the system.  Ideally, the event
      management API will be defined by one of the standard
      organizations and CPI-C programs can access to it.

      Given the fact that the API is not available today, but
      CPI-C has a requirement of a wait facility in order for
      the program to wait on one or more outstanding operations.
      A solution is to define a conversation-specific wait_for_
      completion call.  Another solution is a CIW-defined event
      management API.  The final decision will be driven by
      your requirements.

  (2) Do you have a requirement on asynchronous notification?

      Asynchronous notification is an alternative to wait_for_
      completion.  Do you see a CPI-C program will make use of
      both mechanisms?
