Re: [Crypto-panel] [Cfrg] Fwd: Rev RFC 7539?

Hi Russ,

Thanks for offering. Stanislav also volunteered, but I think having two
independent reviews will do no harm at all here, since the intention is to
catch as many things as possible. So please go ahead in your suggested
timeframe. 

We didn't quite settle on a mechanism for handling these reviews yet, but
in this case I'd suggest e-mailing your comments to CFRG in the
appropriate thread once they are ready.

Thanks again,

Kenny
