The internet architecture has not been designed (it was a prototype) 
and reviewed for security (this belongs first to IRTF and IAB).
Why was the NIPRNET, SIPRNET and JWICS technology made open sources, 
since open source is supposed to achieve better and more secure technology.

The way NSA etc. have negatively influenced security is in not 
showing the path to better security. This was both by ignorance and 
by purpose. This is what we need to technically correct with a clear 
methodology. Today, RFC 6852 puts IETF outside of the security holy 
loop. As Avri says  it is going to be interesting to see the 
participants' reaction to the leadership's line.
