[address-policy-wg] what does consensus mean

In my opinion there are 3 points to clarify:

1) Temporary always ? clearly not for point-to-point links, no-sense for data centers?
2) Single address (/128) for a single device (so the device can't use privacy? Utopia!), or do we allow if the devices get a single-prefix, it uses multiple addresses out of that prefix (so we allow VMs in the device also)
3) Can the device use any technology (such as prefix sharing, eg. RFC7278), to also use addresses from a single prefix for other devices (same user)


Regards,
Jordi

    Now that is indeed a contradiction that I agree with. Here the NCC's interpretation is more strict than what the policy says, and that should be corrected. Marco, can you look at this again from the NCC's perspective?
    
    Cheers,
