Without addressing your general question, IESG policy is that working
groups should be very carefully focused. A hypothetical "Fix DDoS Working
Group" would probably not meet that test -- there are no concrete
deliverables.
That said, an RFC that discussed DoS avoidance strategies would be
a good idea. I'm agnostic about whether that should be done in a
WG or as an individual submission, but BCP status would be a good
one to aim for. How this process should be organized is up to the
AD's and the IESG. (Also note that the next rev of draft-rescorla-sec-cons
has a good section on DoS attacks.)
