Hi Hannes,

In context of the cryptographic primitives we certainly have relied
a lot on NIST, which is reflected in the number of presentations at
the SAAG meetings.
We have made too few attempts to reach out to other communities (if
those even exist) to hear other views. I once talked to Bart
Preneel, who is involved in the European crypto community, to attend
an IETF meeting but (for whatever reason) it didn't work out.
Maybe that's something to think about?
There are several governments which rely on NIST. It's difficult to
say whether there will be a shift away from that.
In this age of suspicion a single-source provider is not a good
idea. If the IETF decides to review and re-review its protocols it
would be good to have input from other communities (re. what you
mentioned above).
