I got a clarification of the NCC's position off-list, which I might as
summarise here:

They are in willing to publish voluntarily, but since there's now a
proposal being discussed, they would like to wait - if it turns out that
the proposal falls through ***due to the community consensus being that
the information should NOT be made public***, then they would change
their position on voluntary publication, which does make sense.

So when the WG chairs declares there is consensus for the proposal (or
it fails for any other reason than "this info shouldn't be public") we
should IMHO ask the NCC to voluntarily publish again, and skip the
actual amending of the policy text.
