Re: [Cfrg] I-D Action: draft-irtf-cfrg-vrf-06.txt

Dear CFRG,

This most recent update to the VRF draft consists of minor clarifications.
FYI, in case you are wondering why the VRF draft has not been moving
forward: hashing to elliptic curves is an important step in the design of
the elliptic curve VRF. In order to avoid having multiple versions of
hashing to elliptic curves, we are currently working with the authors of
the Hashing to Elliptic Curves draft (
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-cfrg-hash-to-curve/,
https://github.com/cfrg/draft-irtf-cfrg-hash-to-curve) to bring our two
drafts into alignment, with the eventual goal having the two drafts move
forward together.

Cheers,

 Leo, Sharon, Jan, Dimitris
