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).

There was very little response to my last straw poll about where we go with 
the MLM draft next.  It certainly wasn't enough to be able to claim "rough 
consensus" from a group this size.

I have some feedback on the actual text from Jeff, Daniel and Dave to 
incorporate, and I haven't forgotten that.  But there remains the issue of 
whether or not to split it into two or three documents covering specific 
topics (a non-DKIM MLM BCP, a DKIM-specific MLM BCP, and a DKIM value-add for 
MLMs informational), and whether or not to just drop the whole affair because 
there's not enough we can really say anyway.

Given my druthers I'd like to proceed with it the way it is since absent 
rough consensus to change course, the right thing to do seems to be to press 
on.  (After thinking about that a bit, I have to admit that it's also the 
most attractive to me since it's the least amount of work...)

Is anybody going to be really upset if I go that route and then work toward a 
WGLC later this year?
