Hi Joe,

ML-KEM WGLC Update

We are working through issues brought up during the working group last
call. We believe addressing these issues is necessary to determine if we
have rough consensus to move forward. We expect the author to address the
following points:

* Key Reuse
* Text for preferring Hybrids
* Whether to include motivations (see Liaison Statement)

We expect resolving these issues will take a few weeks after which we will
run a targeted consensus call to see if text changes are acceptable to the
working group.

The above seems to me unclear and hard to understand.

Are you saying that the 2nd WGLC failed due to a lack of rough
consensus? (Or not?)

Either way, I don't know what you mean by a "targeted consensus
call" - if the 2nd WGLC failed, then surely another WGLC will be
needed or the draft is just stalled. If the 2nd WGLC succeeded,
then (that'd be a surprise and) I don't get why some other consensus
call would be needed, nor for what.

So I'm confused, sorry.

I do get that sometimes the result of a WGLC is "go ahead after
fixing these nits" but I don't see how that applies in a situation
with the fairly fundamental controversies we've seen related to
this draft.

Cheers,
S.



Thanks,

Sean and Joe
