Recommending secp256k1 in FIPS 186-5

Hi all,

NIST is seeking feedback on their recently-released draft of FIPS 186-5. [1]
My company and others are concerned about the lack of endorsement for
secp256k1 in this standard and have drafted a request for its addition.[2]
We would welcome any comments and/or support from any of your organizations
(directly in the Google Doc linked below).  All comments are welcome,
including those arguing against this request :)
