The call for adoption has been completed. It's clear that the draft needs work, but most of the comments were positive on adoption and there seems to be energy to work on the document. The main concern raised during the call for adoption if it is published before the NIST competition is finished then the document may be incompatible with the results. This risk is mitigated in several ways:
- The document is not specifying specific Post quantum techniques and is therefore not bound to any particular one that would conflict with a NIST winner - The working group is in control of when the document is published and can determine the appropriate time when the risk of incompatibility is low, which may be before or after the NIST Competition officially completes. The chairs are moving forward with accepting the document as a working group item without any additional constraints except that the document MUST be evaluated for potential incompatibilities with NIST competition entries before WGLC.
