## Committees

Haskell infrastructure is mostly maintained by committees and groups of volunteers. Here are some of the committees involved in keeping things running:

* [Core Libraries Committee](https://wiki.haskell.org/Core_Libraries_Committee)
* [GHC Steering Committee](https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals)
* [Hackage trustees](https://wiki.haskell.org/Hackage_trustees)
* [Haskell.org committee](/haskell-org-committee)
* [Stackage maintainers](https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/maintainers/team_process/)

In November of each year—or if a member steps down before their term is over—the committee holds an open call for new members, encouraging self-nominations. Committee members whose terms are over are eligible for renomination.

Committee members do not need to be deep technical Haskell experts. Instead we look for enthusiasm towards improving the Haskell community. We aim to represent the different facets of the community. We aim to be diverse in terms of industry or research, and in terms of gender, race and location.

After nominations have been solicited, the current committee—including any outgoing members—selects new members with a simple majority vote.

While this has never occurred in the past, Committee members can also be removed by majority vote.

### Process

The Committee uses the [haskell-community][list] for public discussion. Proposals and meeting notes are stored in a [public repository][repo].
