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
