Re: [W3C Web Crypto WG] CfC : Call for Consensus on the integration of curve25519 in WG deliverables (please vote until the 26th of August)

-1

Strong -1.  We should not be balloting on specific curves right now, either
NUMS or Curve25519.  We should agree on the principle that we will support
the next generation curves that CFRG and TLS agree on, and work to support
that once it's decided.
