For the information of the IETF and IESG, I made a consensus call on
the lisp list that there was rough consensus that there will be cases where the 
same IP stands both as an EID and a
RLOC.

Robin challenged this consensus call but has not found support on the
list for his challenge.

So, I believe the community disagrees with Robin's claim that the
discussion of LISP identifiers and locators is erroneous.

That said, I don't see that Dimitri's rewording of the second
paragraph actually touches on how LISP identifiers and locators relate
to each other.  As such, I don't think there has been community
discussion prior to his proposal that would either support or oppose
his proposal.

There is a desire to be done with the charter sooner rather than
later.
