I spoke with Paul about this and I agree that a mechanism that focuses the discussion on individual definitions should make it easier to either reach consensus, or to quickly realize there is no consensus.

The authors have tentatively made some substantial changes to the draft,
to define "domain name", "global DNS", and "private DNS" in a manner
that can be used by other work in the IETF, particularly around RFC
6761. Our first cut of definitions are in the new draft, but we fully
expect significant discussion in the WG before there is even rough
consensus. We are not even sure that the WG will agree with the idea of
adding "global DNS" and "private DNS" to the document. The authors are
not even sure they agree with all of this.

At the same time, we think that it would be easier to track open issues
in our GitHub repo at
https://github.com/DNSOP/draft-ietf-dnsop-terminology-bis rather than in
the document as comments. To be clear, the discussion of how issues are
to be resolved should be mostly done on the mailing list, but using
GitHub to track issues might give easier-to-follow history of the
discussions. We also are open to using GitHub for pull requests for
specific changes to the document.

As a final note, this version of the draft also has some changes not
related to the above, and we encourage review of those changes, plus
anything else in the draft, of course.

Abstract:
   The DNS is defined in literally dozens of different RFCs.  The
   terminology used by implementers and developers of DNS protocols, and
   by operators of DNS systems, has sometimes changed in the decades
   since the DNS was first defined.  This document gives current
   definitions for many of the terms used in the DNS in a single
   document.

   This document will be the successor to RFC 7719.
