I guess we can have discussions in both WGs and see how it is going. In
CSI WG, we may focus on how CGA should be configured/generated in DHCP
environment; at the same time, in DHC WG,we may focus on more how DHCP
should be extended to adopt CGA.

Between CGA and DHCP, there are actually two directions: a) using DHCP
to serve/enable the generation/usage of CGA on host, this should be the
work content of CSI; b) using CGA to serve the security of DHCP, this is
mainly about extend DHCP with new options, it should be work item of DHC.

I did request a time slot in CSI to talk about the above a) point. I can
mention above b) point in my talk and clarify the different. Discussions
in both WG are useful to take these work forward.

Best regards,

Sheng
