We are probably pretty much in agreement. It looks like they’ve got something to hide and they’re hiding it with delay tactics, among others.

They aren’t alone in failing to uphold FOIA laws, but they’re important in a key way: once the standard is forged, hardware will be built, certified, deployed, and required for certain activities. Delay is an attack that is especially pernicious in this exact FOIA case given the NIST standardization process timeline.

As a side note, the NIST FOIA people seem incompetent for reasons other than delay.
