From what I can see on the CA/Browser Forum's website (https://cabforum.org/about/membership/members/), there is enough diversity in the forum to represent the Web community as a whole. Trade embargoes issued by a single country would likely not be represented by enough CA/B members to be pushed through the Forum.

I personally sleep much better knowing that e.g. all major browser vendors cooperate on the CA/B (and elsewhere, e.g. the IETF, W3C, ECMA) instead of the biggest one dictating the rules (which, to be fair, happens to a certain degree, e.g. with Chrome leading the way for certain technologies).

While I agree there are an astonishing number of CAs listed, it seems to me there's no representation of website operators, or website users.
