It was my understanding that the MLM BCP was intended to inform MLM operators 
of what they should do with DKIM-signed mail.  Since that is the critical 
question, I would assert we need rough consensus on the answer to that question 
before issuing a WGLC on the document.  I do not believe we have rough 
consensus on the answer to that question, i.e. reject vs. discard vs. bounce 
nor strip-and-sign, change from: and sign, or just simply re-sign as-is nor 
what to do about/with A-R.  Correct me if I'm wrong about that, but I saw some 
of those issues raised just this week (and we were debating these same issues 
in May).
