Info For New Members

PSF Members (Nominated & Sponsor)

New PSF members need to know about the following:

As a PSF member, the primary responsibility is to participate in PSF voting activities, primarily the approval/disapproval of new nominated and sponsor members and the election of board members. From time-to-time, other motions may be put before the full membership for a vote, but the day-to-day activities of the PSF are generally handled by the PSF board and the committee members. Voting is primarily electronic these days - it is important that members at least submit their ballots (even if they explicitly abstain from all motions) to ensure quorum is reached. (All votes, including abstentions, are counted for purposes of reaching quorum, but only yes and no votes are subsequently counted for purposes of approving or disapproving of motions).

PSF members that wish to be more active in the organisation may wish to join one of the PSF committees (e.g. the trademarks committee or the infrastructure committee) or eventually put their names forward as potential board members or officers of the foundation (see the additional info below).

As new members will not yet have access to the private PSF wiki, the existing member that nominated them for PSF membership (or the board in the case of sponsor members) should make the text of this section available to the new member (e.g. by copying it into an email and sending it to them). (The members wiki is private as discussions of nominees or proposals under consideration by the PSF may be sensitive or otherwise not yet ready for exposure to a wider audience).

Board Members (Directors) & Officers

A wiki admin should add the Director's/Officer's wiki account to the "BoardGroup" page: http://wiki.python.org/psf/BoardGroup
