I seems reasonable this document passes the IESG before the IESG get renewed as it currently has in mind the history of the draft.
I understand this draft get a higher priority over the remaining draft in lwig.

I think we should (and easily can) get this draft done before there is another IESG roster change (due to AD changes in March). Next week, it will be precisely one year this draft was first put on the iesg telechat agenda (Feb 18, 2021, to be precise). Let us make sure we do not need candles to "celebrate" one year of zero progress. Thanks for your help! Apologies for sending this message via the mailing list: however, for some reason, none of my offline email messages sent to you since January 13, 2022 seemed to have reached you (or, at least, have been replied to). I did see other emails from the [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> address, so presume that address still works (if this assumption is incorrect, please let me know).

Changes: a) Section 7 (Implementation Status): included reference to ANSSI's (French information security agency) use of lwig curve draft, including motivations (hooray); b) Appendix B.1 (Elliptic Curve Nomenclature): made definition of isomorphic curves in Appendix B.1 more precise, via one-sentence change (zero impact on draft, but done for completeness); c) Appendix I (Data Conversions): added Definition of ASCII symbols (with reference to RFC 20); d) Appendix Q (ECDSA): corrected numerical examples for ECDSA w/ Wei25519 and SHAKE-128 (Appendix Q.3.2) and ECDSA w/ Wei448 and SHAKE-256 (Appendix Q.3.3). Here, it turned out that the Python code in Sage that I used incorrectly implements the FIPS 202 specification of SHAKE128 and SHAKE256. To do this properly, I implemented all SHA3 functions from scratch on the bit-level and had this vetted independently via contacts at NIST. To indicate that ECDSA w/ Wei448 and SHAKE256 uses FIPS 202-conformant SHAKE256, I added in Section 4.3 as reference to FIPS 202 "see Section 6.3 of [FIPS 202]"). BTW - adding ASCII (point c) above) above was motivated by desire to avoid bit/byte-ordering ambiguity and set the record straight. I made a few (very few) typographical and cosmetic changes throughout the document, in an attempt to make the crypto review panel reviewer happy. (Time will tell.) I hope this helps.

Name: draft-ietf-lwig-curve-representations Revision: 23 Title: Alternative Elliptic Curve Representations Document date: 2022-01-21 Group: lwig Pages: 150 URL: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-lwig-curve-representations-23.txt Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lwig-curve-representations/ Htmlized: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-lwig-curve-representations Diff: https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-lwig-curve-representations-23 Abstract: This document specifies how to represent Montgomery curves and (twisted) Edwards curves as curves in short-Weierstrass form and illustrates how this can be used to carry out elliptic curve computations leveraging existing implementations and specifications of, e.g., ECDSA and ECDH using NIST prime curves. We also provide extensive background material that may be useful for implementers of elliptic curve cryptography.
