Subject: [Cfrg] Elliptic Curves - poll on security levels (ends on February 17th)

CFRG chairs are starting a poll, containing 2 initial questions:

Q1: Should CFRG recommend a curve at the 192-bit security level?

Q2: Should CFRG recommend a curve at the 256-bit security level?

Answering Yes/No to each of these would suffice.

Once this first set of issues is resolved, we will move to choices of prime at the selected security level(s), if any. After that we will be discussing implementation specifics and coordinate systems for Diffie-Hellman. We will then make decisions on signature schemes.
Please don't discuss any of these future topics at this time.
