And I don't know why you think that the discussion is "already headed" toward policy when the group isn't even chartered yet. Certainly the discussion on the IETF list isn't "already headed" that way.
You can call it "foo" for all I care, but much of what's been discussed so far is policy. From the proposed charter: "A host connected to multiple networks has to make decisions about default router selection, address selection, DNS server selection, choice of interface for packet transmission, and the treatment of configuration information received from the various networks. Some configuration objects are global to the node, some are local to the interface, and some are related to a particular prefix. Various issues arise when multiple configuration objects that are global to the node are received on different interfaces. At best, decisions about these matters have an efficiency effect. At worst, they have more significant effects such as security impacts, or even lead to communication not being possible at all." That's all policy.
