The Python Software Foundation has resolved to amend its Bylaws effective July 23, 2025, removing a condition that could conflict with data privacy laws in the EU, UK, and California.
The amendment affects Section 3.8, granting the Foundation the ability to place conditions on disclosing Voting Members' information to comply with data privacy laws.
The Board acknowledged the time-sensitive nature of the change and made it without prior consultation with Voting Members, but plans to propose further updates for the 2026 Board election.
The full change details can be found at https://github.com/psf/bylaws/pull/7/files. The Python Software Foundation values the input of its membership in governance decisions.
