I’ve been honored to serve on the inaugural Steering Council and have been grateful to work with Barry, Brett, Guido, and Nick. It’s been a busy term as we worked on the backlog of PEPs. We have found a productive process for our weekly meetings. For those who are considering a Steering Council nomination, I encourage you to do so. To add a bit of information about how we have structured our weekly Steering Council meetings and what resources are available for onboarding new members, I put together a blog post: [https://www.willingconsulting.com/post/2019-11-02-python-steering-retro/](https://www.willingconsulting.com/post/2019-11-02-python-steering-retro/) Most of what I wrote in my last nomination still applies today: > [@Steering Council nomination: Carol Willing](https://discuss.python.org/t/steering-council-nomination-carol-willing/674): > > Carol Willing Nominated by: self after encouragement by Nick, Christian, Brett, Guido, Nathaniel, and Ewa Jodlowska I’m so pleased with the gracious, thoughtful work by many to formalize a new governance for Python. A huge thank you to all who listened, shared, and compromised to help us move into 2019 with a new governance model selected. I would be honored to serve on the Steering Council. I would be equally honored to share my experience with governance, negotiation, and communication … One thing that has changed is my employer. As of last week, I joined a startup, [Verica.io](http://Verica.io), working on Chaos Engineering and Continuous Verification. Thanks to all for all that you do for CPython and the community. ---
