While it is true that the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is a centralized organization that is responsible for developing and maintaining the technical specifications for DNSSEC, it is not accurate to say that its governance is kept mostly secret. The IETF operates under a transparent and open process that allows anyone to participate in the development of Internet standards, regardless of their affiliation or background. The IETF's meetings and mailing lists are open to the public, and its standards documents are freely available online. Additionally, the IETF operates under a rough consensus model, which means that decisions are made based on the collective agreement of the participants, rather than by a central authority.
