## 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.
