Dear Till,

Thanks so much for pointing this out. See below.

I have reviewed the RFP and proposal a few times. I understand scope is
defined 6.1 and 6.5.4 and conformance in 6.5.5 of the RFP.

6.5.5 establishes conformance of languages and translations of which
none listed are second order logic. Also Annexes D-H do not include a
conformance statement for second order logic.

How do you justify your claim that second order logic is not outside the
scope of DOL?

6.5.5 requires formal criteria for establishing conformance and
specified in enough detail to be testable.

How does your claim satisfy these criteria?

It appears the RFP limits conformance to exclude second order logic and
the proposal does not claim to establish conformance for second order logic.

I am reasonably familiar with the broad applicability of institutions.
My comment was specific to DOL and its scope and conformance criteria.

As an aside, I have searched the for a System F comorphism. Would you be
able to provide a pointer to a paper?

I have a few follow-up questions for later.
