Yes, a path.  Not necessarily a single proposal, but a clear plan.  From the
charter:

    The group will produce ... a recommendation for a routing and addressing
    architecture.

It doesn't say "a set of possible architectures" or "some vague things that
we could do".  

Again, our job is to make a decision and that's what we're going to do.
