The current SC discussed this a bit in the past and IIRC our view is that we can will start sorting out the details for the next election some time after the final release of 3.8.0. Note that PEP 13 doesn't say "immediately after" or "as soon as", so we have a bit of leeway with the organization. I don't recall that we debated who should manage the vote. I presume it will be run pretty similar to the initial SC election though.

Hi,

The PEP 13 says "A new council is elected after each feature release." Does it mean that we need elect a new Steering Council before/after Python 3.8.0 final release which is scheduled at 2019-10-21 (in more or less one month)?

If a vote is organized, when should "Candidates advertise their interest in serving"? What will be the duration of the election phases and who will manage the vote? https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0013/#electing-the-council
