My personal opinion (speaking as an individual)...

It is pretty clear that there is a lot of interest in this topic in the MPLS WG. It also is clear that this proposal is very much about MPLS. Thus draft-betts-itu-oam-ach-code-point needs to be last called in the MPLS WG. 

It seems clear that the document also needs IETF last call. I assume this means that one last call would be posted to both the MPLS and IETF WG lists. 

It seems that this same last call should also be copied to the PWE3 list.
