Even more so, there is no organization. The IETF is an activity, like dancing, which humans can participate in or not as they please. You can't "join", there's nobody "in charge" and it can't believe anything.
It's true, mostly, but it's worth knowing that different IETF working groups are, in fact, organized groups, with a set process and all the path dependency you get from any planned human enterprise. There are stakeholders in those groups that have greater and lesser influence.
