| 46 | +## What I'll do |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +Over my years on the project, I've seen that so much can be achieved when we |
| 49 | +invest in delivering project-wide process improvements. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +My single biggest goal is to **_reduce/remove friction in contributing to Kubernetes._** |

| 56 | +- Increasing our reviewers/approvers across component areas |
| 57 | +- Continuing the SIG/WG Annual Report to identify improvements for all governance groups |

| 59 | +- Encouraging the growth of new project leaders, through both example and active mentorship |
