I mean, it is still a draft during the review. :-)

I was referring to the consensus of the DMARC WG (which doesn't actually
exist, but it's still possible to take a read of that community, and that's
where the discussion happened).

The first instance was the chartering in 2014 and termination in 2025.  On
completion of this chartering, the WG would be in its second instance.

DKIM, for example, is presently on its third instance.

You're right that this is business-as-usual, but for people not fully
versed in this sort of esoterica, I thought it would be helpful to include.

A "decide" milestone?  I guess we could.  Usually milestones are used to
indicate a specific bit of document progress, but there's no rule saying we
can't have one that says "if we get here and we're stuck, we will then
follow this specific path".
