PSF Grants Workgroup Charter
Contents
Purpose & Common Goals
The initial purpose of this workgroup is to review proposals to the PSF for grants in support of conferences, training workshops, and related projects. If the proposals meet all guidelines set by the PSF board the WG will have the authority to approve funding, otherwise they will refer the proposals to the PSF board for further discussion and decision. The PSF may decide to extend the scope of the WG at a later time.
Active Time
This workgroup will be active indefinitely at the pleasure of the PSF board.
Core Values & Internal Governmence
The core values for this group are:
- Respect
- Support
- Positive Atmosphere
- Constructiveness
- Integrity
The workgroup adopts the PSF Code of Conduct (https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/). Any actions (found by a majority) made against the principles in the Code of Conduct will result in the acting person being removed from the workgroup.
