We calculate some ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^2)$ corrections to the JIMWLK kernel in the framework of the light-cone wave function approach to the high energy limit of QCD. The contributions that we consider originate from higher order corrections in the strong coupling and in the density of the projectile to the solution of the classical Yang-Mills equations of motion that determine the Weizs\"acker-Williams fields of the projectile. We study the structure of these corrections in the dipole limit, showing that they are subleading in the limit of large number of colours $N$, and that they cannot be fully recast in the form of dipole degrees of freedom.
