Thread-Topic: CVE ID Syntax Vote - results and next steps

- Do you prefer fixed length or variable length?

Fixed length

- If you prefer fixed length, what field length do you consider sufficient?

9 digits would be sufficient

- Any comment on Adam’s suggestion of trailing zeros?

Agree with the other responders and now that Adam has withdrawn his suggestion, a moot point
