Hi All,

Congrats to the second rounds candidates. BTW, wondering whether
organizers will publish a report on the process of the selection, to
make decision more transparent, or this is whole the output of the
committee and we should not expect such a report.

Best Regards,
Nasour

This was already answered in the call for submissions and in every
submission:

The submitter/submitters understand that the committee will not
comment on the algorithms, except that for each selected algorithm
the committee will simply cite the previously published analyses that
led to the selection of the algorithm. The submitter/submitters
understand that the selection of some algorithms is not a negative
comment regarding other algorithms, and that an excellent algorithm
might fail to be selected simply because not enough analysis was
available at the time of the committee decision. The
submitter/submitters acknowledge that the committee decisions reflect
the collective expert judgments of the committee members and are not
subject to appeal. The submitter/submitters understand that if they
disagree with published analyses then they are expected to promptly
and publicly respond to those analyses, not to wait for subsequent
committee decisions.

“Pulling Strings" is a bilingual comedy starring Jamie Camil. Alejandro (Jaime Camil) and his loyal best friend Canicas (Omar Chaparro) are hardworking mariachi singers looking for fame in Mexico City. I invite all to watch it

Dear Dan,

The CAESAR web site says:
> M17 (tentative), 2015.08.15: Deadline for second-round tweaks.

As most of us will be on holiday during the coming weeks, would it be
possible to postpone this deadline a bit?

Note that, in our opinion, the deadline for second-round software could
be kept to mid-September, so as to avoid this delay to propagate further.
> M18 (tentative), 2015.09.15: Deadline for second-round software.

Thanks & kind regards,
The Keyak and Ketje team

I second that.

The repeated postponing made planning difficult, and some of us will go to conferences in addition to holidays (the current dead-line is between SAC and Crypto).

Dear all,

If the committee decides to delay the deadline for second-round tweaks, I would suggest early September at the latest, so that DIAC 2015 remains an opportunity for designers to present their choices during the workshop (Sept 28-29). If so, we can fix the submission deadline accordingly.
