Hi Stephen,

My impression is that WGs such as TLS do indeed rely on CFRG opinion.
Perhaps that's their choice rather than an IETF mandate.  Nonetheless
it does occur, as was quite clear in the handling of Dragonfly:

"The TLS WG isn't chartered to evaluate cryptographic mechanisms, so
where there is some question we generally rely on CFRG for an opinion"
 - Eric Rescorla, TLS WG Chair
