It has been widely known that ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 is standardizing 3 post-q=
uantum KEM algorithms, and beginning to standardize PQ signature algorithms=
.
https://committee.iso.org/sites/jtc1sc27/home/projects.html

However, it seems that no any ISO PQ algorithm standardization progress has=
 been communicated at IETF. After searching https://www.ietf.org/about/liai=
sons/, no liaison relationship was found between IETF and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC.=
27.

As so many working groups in SEC area are developing PQ migration specifica=
tions, is it a good idea to invite ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 giving such a progre=
ss talk in SAAG or CFRG at the next IETF meeting?

Cheers,

Guilin
