I hope I'm not telling any state secrets about NISTs plans here, but in
a conversation at RWC John Kelsey said something like "if the rest of
the Internet agrees on a good curve then probably NIST will just agree
to that".

I certainly understood it in a way that if CFRG comes up with something
that gets widespread support NIST will adopt that as their new
standard, too.
