This is a call for volunteers to serve on the C API Working Group. The WG’s charter was established by [PEP 731](https://peps.python.org/pep-0731/#members). Our founding member Irit Katriel has indicated she’d like to resign her WG membership. We thank Irit for her contributions to the WG’s work, in particular as editor of [PEP 733](https://peps.python.org/pep-0733/) (“An Evaluation of Python’s Public C API”). According to the [PEP](https://peps.python.org/pep-0731/#operations-and-process), we (the remaining WG members) are calling for nominations from the core developer community (a term I propose to interpret in the widest sense possible). We will then decide on Irit’s replacement based upon the available nominations. Self-nominations are all right. You can nominate by replying to this message or via email to any of the remaining WG members. I propose that we allow a week to collect nominations (similar to the length of time new-core-dev votes are open, to give people time to respond). ---

A big thanks to Irit for all her good work with the PEP and the C API WG! I’m nominating myself; I’ve reviewed many C API additions, I am a co-maintainer of the [pythoncapi-compat](https://github.com/python/pythoncapi-compat) project, and I have a strong passion for well-designed APIs. I’ve been following the C API WG closely and I would be glad to take Irit’s place. ---

I usually hate to participate in various committees, but since I am an active user of the C API and have some experience in the C API development, and participate in some C API discussions in any way, you might consider my candidacy. ---

The remaining WG members have deliberated, and we’ve selected Erlend. Erlend, welcome to the C API WG! We’ll contact you privately with the gory details. Serhiy: you are a strong candidate, and if we have another vacancy you are our number one pick. (And I say that without irony.) ---

Agree about Erlend. I nominated myself when there were no other comments. I just took a long time to write my comment. I probably wouldn’t have nominated myself if I seen other nominations.
