There is strong consensus in the working group that for generation of IPv6 global unicast addresses,
EUI-64 based interface-identifiers should not be the default method recommended by the IETF.

There are some open questions with regards to generation of link-local addresses,
that can be dealt with in the working group after adoption.

While we think there is a strong consensus to not prefer EUI-64 based interface-identifiers,
we don't think there is a consensus to "deprecate" EUI-64 based interface-identifiers.
We think that what is appropriate now is to have this document focus on a recommendation
to prefer other types of interface-identifiers such as described in
I-D.ietf-6man-stable-privacy-addresses.

The authors should update the document to reflect the above, and resubmit as a
working document with a new title and filename.  Such as:

Recommendation on Default Interface-Identifiers
<draft-ietf-6man-default-IIDs-00.txt>

Best regards,
Bob and Ole
