BSI filed comments with NIST claiming, falsely, that some Brainpool curves were "standardised in RFC 5639": https://csrc.nist.gov/csrc/media/publications/fips/186/4/final/documents/comments-received-fips186-4-december-2015.pdf NIST now proposes to officially allow the Brainpool curves in SP 800-186 for "interoperability". Comments due 29 Jan: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/10/31/2019-23742/request-for-comments-on-fips-186-5-and-sp-800-186 @ietf
