================
Comment at: llvm/docs/Security.rst:25
+
+The initial security group will start small and grow following the process established below. The LLVM Board will pick 10 community members. These members shall represent a wide cross-section of the community, and meet the criteria for inclusion below.

The board can not possibly know everyone in the community, and to be effective, this group needs volunteers, not people who have been volunteered.

I agree on both points. We shouldn't burden the foundation with it nor we should restrict the number of members to a fixed size.


================
Comment at: llvm/docs/Security.rst:52
+
+  - If already in the LLVM Security Group, has actively participated in one (if any) security issue in the last year.
+  - If already in the LLVM Security Group, has actively participated in most membership discussions in the last year.
----------------
Redundant wording. Perhaps sub-bullet points?


================
Comment at: llvm/docs/Security.rst:112
+
+Following the process below, the LLVM Security Group decides on embargo date for public disclosure for each Security issue. An embargo may be lifted before the agreed-upon date if all vendors planning to ship a fix have already done so, and if the reporter does not object.
+
----------------
What if the group doesn't have a member from an affected vendor? How do we handle external vendor/country embargo?
