If I understood correctly in the meeting, the authors have some ongoing 
formal analysis but I could not find anything in the repo [0]. Could you 
please point me to the repo where the formal analysis is being done?

 From the formal analysis perspective, is there something specific other 
than the open issue mentioned in section 8.4 that you need help with?
