Hiya,

On Dec17, the IESG will also be doing the conflict review for a
draft [1] that documents some more about using GOST algorithms.

Since we've typically handled national algorithms in this manner
(basic alg details are documented as independent submission
stream RFCs) I think this one does not represent a conflict with
ongoing IETF work or process. But if I'm wrong, please do let me
know.

Should someone want code points for using these algorithms in IETF
protocols, that'd of course go through the normal consensus process.
See RFC 5742 [2] for details of what this bit of process is about.

If you have comments on the draft content then please send those
to the authors and cc the independent submissions editor, Nevil
Brownlee (rfc-ise@rfc-editor.org).

Cheers,
S.
