While I certainly am not arguing that Breno shouldn't be on the specs
council, I don't think security expertise is a relevant consideration
here since it's primary purpose is to veto working groups based on
non-technical criteria, before technical work has begun.
Security experts make useful working group members, but this is not a
skill needed for specs council membership.
