This was my original email. Based on the discussion here it looks like
an informal chat medium will be desirable to many. Some don't see a
need.

To bring a closure to this topic, I plan to create a poll in
discuss.python.org to bring get votes on the decision.

So, the first decision will be.

Q: Do we need a core-dev only chat? An informal, private mechanism to
hang around and chat.

A) No. Let's not do anything new. The status quo we have seems fine.
B) Yes, let's experiment with Discord / Slack / Teams / Gitter / IRC.


If B, is your answer choice, and if we decide to experiment with a new
solution, what could it be? (1-Many choices)

A) Let's try with Discord for core-dev
B) Let's try with Gitter for core-dev
C) Let's try with private IRC group other than #python-dev
D) Let's try with Slack for core-dev
E) Let's try with Teams for core-dev
F) I don't have a strong preference. I will use whatever core-dev community
uses as long as I can use it on my platform or web.

My aim is not disrupt existing systems that are used like #python-dev in
IRC. So, it will continue to be chat mechanism open to public.

There will privacy focus with this solution, details on where to host to
be determined.

I hope, I have represented the initial choices well. If not, please let
me know.

If we end up with coming to a consensus, I will make a formal proposal
to the steering council to make a pronuncement on this topic.


Thank you,
Senthil
