Perhaps a better approach would be to use something like DNSOP which has an operations bent is use to see if there are ideas/interest in particular topics that can drive the creation of working groups that focus on the specific DNS-related issues?

Yup.   However, creating working groups is a pretty heavyweight process—I think that's what motivates the long-term model for protocols where frequent extensions are likely.   Possibly rotating working group chairs more frequently would work in such cases.
