The IESG has concluded that this work is related to IETF work done in WG COSE,
but this relationship does not prevent publishing.

Additionally, the IESG requests the following note be added to the document if
it is published:

This document proposes a cryptographic signature algorithm that is claimed to
be "post-quantum secure". The IETF takes no position on these claims.
Development of such algorithms is an active topic of great interest to the
Internet community, but the IETF has chosen to defer selection and publication
of "post-quantum secure" algorithms until after the conclusion of the
NIST "Post-Quantum Cryptography" Project
(https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/post-quantum-cryptography). The NIST-sponsored
endeavor (whose participants include cryptographic experts from around the
world) provides substantially more cryptographic expertise than is available
solely within the IETF, and the IESG believes it is in the best interest of the
Internet community to take advantage of the in-depth cryptographic reviews
performed during the NIST project before selecting "post-quantum
secure" algorithms for standardization.
