Please clarify. If making "any choices of PQ algorithms" is supposed to
be out of scope then how can "focus on the NIST algorithms" be in scope?

Right now I'm unable to figure out concretely what's being claimed about
the PQUIP scope, never mind the question of how this claim is supposed
to follow from the PQUIP charter (and the meta-question of how my quotes
from the charter were supposed to be missing something relevant).
