I assumed that ECC will at least be a SHOULD algorithm and thus merging
6637 seems to be appropriate.
I'd say most folks here are aware of it but just in case...
It'd be good if the WG(-to-be) considered if they want to
incorporate the work on new curves being done by CFRG. That
might mean waiting a little longer as CFRG aren't done at
that although they seem to be making good progress now.
Wearing no hats, I think it'd be good to include the new
curves in this work.
There is already an I-D on Ed25519. Because it has a different form
than the NIST curves it requires a different parameter. Is the
intention to include that by value in RFC4880bis? (I'm certainly not
opposed to the answer being "yes" -- I just want us to be clear that
we're going to do that too in addition to 6637).
Cheers,
S.
