Happy new year! The Core Libraries Committee seeks nominations for three seats. ## What is CLC? CLC is a volunteer body, primarily tasked with management of the API of [`base`](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base) package, but also owning so-called Core Libraries and responsible for [PVP](https://pvp.haskell.org/). You can find more at [our home page](https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/?tab=readme-ov-file). ## Who should apply? Anyone who meets the following criteria should apply: * Candidates should have enough bandwidth to review merge requests to `base` on a semi-frequent basis (~3-4 per month), and sustain this for their 3 years term in a healthy manner. * Candidates should be able to contribute opinions and analysis to issues raised by the community as a part of the CLC proposal process on a semi-frequent basis (~7 per month). * Candidates should be good communicators, and at least be able to articulate to the CLC team when they will be available vs. unavailable. * Candidates should be productive, and be able to follow through on merge requests and conversations to their completion in a diligent and timely manner. We encourage any and all who satisfy these requirements to apply. Please note that we are not looking for the biggest galaxy brain in the room – quite the opposite. We are looking for productive, motivated individuals who want to help support the ecosystem that we love. As such, we hope to build a broad sample of the community. ## How can I apply? To apply for one of these positions, send an email to [clc.nominations.2026@fastmail.com](mailto:clc.nominations.2026@fastmail.com) with: * The subject “CLC Election January 2026 - {your name}”. * Why you think you’re a good fit given the above criteria. * If applicable, please point us to some code you’ve written. Please apply before Feb 2. Cheers, Teo
