Thank you for all the constructive feedback.

Chairs have reviewed responses to this message (both public and some 
private) and can confirm that there is rough consensus for adopting 
draft-agl-cfrgcurve-00 as a RG document. Some people supported the 
document with conditions that some changes would (or would not) be done 
to it, although the majority of people supported it unconditionally. 
Some people who objected to the document being adopted asked about 
changes that were also asked by people who supported the document, so we 
are hoping that a future revision of the draft might become acceptable 
even to them.

Chairs are asking Adam to republish draft-agl-cfrgcurve-00 as 
draft-irtf-cfrg-curves-00. Chairs are in the process of discussing who 
would be editors of the CFRG document.

Best Regards,
Alexey,
On behalf of CFRG chairs.
