Abstract
In this white paper, we discuss the prospects for characterizing and identifying dark matter using gravitational waves, covering a wide range of dark matter candidate types and signals. We argue that present and upcoming gravitational wave probes offer unprecedented opportunities for unraveling the nature of dark matter and we identify the most urgent challenges and open problems with the aim of encouraging a strong community effort at the interface between these two exciting fields of research.

Strengths
The paper gives a detailed overview of the possibilities to detect dark
matter with gravitational waves. It is up to date and contains many references.
It is thus very useful for someone interested in entering into this field.
Weaknesses
I do not see specific weaknesses.
Report
I think that the paper gives a very good overview
on the issue of detecting dark matter with gravitational waves.
This is now an important and timely topic.
The paper is very well written.
I thus think that it is appropriate for the journal and should be published
in its present form.
