32+ ## Typing Council
33+
34+ The Typing Council, set up in [ PEP 729] ( https://peps.python.org/pep-0729/ ) ,
35+ oversees Python's type checking ecosystem as a whole. Typing PEPs are still
36+ accepted or rejected by the Steering Council, but only after consultation
37+ with the Typing Council, and typing-specific PEPs are expected to be sent to
38+ the Typing Council first.

40+ ## C API Working Group
41+
42+ The C API Working Group (created by and defined in [ PEP
43+ 731] ( https://peps.python.org/pep-0731/ ) ) is a small committee of Python core
44+ developers responsible for overseeing and coordinating the development and
45+ maintenance of the Python C API. The Steering Council has in principle
46+ delegated all C API design and implementation decisions to the C API WG,
47+ although there is no standing PEP delegation (since the C API is rarely an
48+ isolated PEP topic).
49+
50+ ## Documentation Editorial Board
51+
52+ The Documentation Editorial Board (described in [ PEP
53+ 732] ( https://peps.python.org/pep-0732/ ) is in charge of the strategy,
54+ structure, style and governance of all of Python's user-facing documentation
55+ efforts. As with the C API WG there is no standing PEP delegation as there are
56+ few PEPs specific to the documentation efforts, but the Editorial Board has
57+ specific autonomy and authority as described in PEP 732.
