 During my years on the GC I have helped evolve the project from an experimental tracing specification to an industry-standard observability API with thousands of contributors, hundreds of maintainers and approvers, and more than 10 stable implementations. Because of this experience, especially that of a long-time client implementation maintainer, and because of my long involvement with the GC, I am ideally suited to represent the needs of maintainers, approvers, and contributors.
