Probably because it's a representative from a country with 18% of the total people on the planet.

Hard to call oneself a standards community if you're missing representation from nearly a fifth of all users.

Then why isn't one of the IITs on the list? Or a university in South America, Africa, or the Middle East?

18% of the world population, but what is relevant is the % of web users. This country denies its citizen the benefits of an open web and treats the ability to route around censorship like a bug to fix. Why give someone a seat at a committee steering something they openly want to sabotage?
