I am not sure how a design team could accomplish anything without communicating with the WG, since a design team is (from an IETF process standpoint) just  group of individuals who are working together to produce an IETF contribution.  It is up to the WG (1) whether to adopt that contribution as a WG work item, and (2) whether to publish it as an RFC…
