Happy Easter Monday,

I was just reading my emails at wake up peacefully reading the discussion that 
I take ‘en route’ and I see ITU-T SG17 mentioned below.

Did I miss something? In general I am happy we help when appropriate but here, 
SG17 should have nothing to do in this email thread. Like nothing.

Our mandate is extremely strict on PQC and only on use, migration and a very 
specific PQC/QKD.

If there would be anything to do in our scope, we will take it from your 
decisions.

We are strictly not allowed to work on design, assessment, etc. and for good 
reasons.

I hope this clarifies.

Best Regards
