There are different levels of public involvement and doing things in public is not as bad as you make it sound to be. Even if it delays things a bit, then I would still prefer the delay over a treaty that is not in the public interest. We have already seen how well this process worked with ACTA which after four years of negotiations was shot down in the EU. Wouldn't it have been faster and more efficient to do it in public? Isn't this process already politicized - at least amongst those that care about it - because of the secrecy? Is it reasonable that the EFF (and probably many more stakeholders) have to guess at what the draft might say now, based on a leaked document from two years ago?
