Now that the Jan-15 deadline is over, let's try to focus on the concrete comments that were made, so that Serge can prepare the "final version" for a vote. The comments that were entered (as far as I can tell) are the following: * Changes to the underlying algorithm: there were a few posts suggesting switching from LRW to something else. Specifically, in a message from Dec-21 Matt Ball suggested some LRW-variant http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1619/email/msg00558.html and Mart Somermaa in message from Jan-6 suggested yet some other modes http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1619/email/msg00610.html * Extending LRW with "ciphertext stealing", see pictorial description in a message from Laszlo on Dec-13 http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1619/email/msg00483.html * There were many requests for adding rationale. Matt Ball is helping Serge on that front. * There were a few posts about specific wordings in the document, including http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1619/email/msg00582.html http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1619/email/msg00631.html http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1619/email/msg00632.html and maybe also others that I missed (?) -- Shai
