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". 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.
