Hi Dusan - Good question so I will reply-all in case anyone else has that question. There are no prerequisites to run for the PSF board. It certainly doesn't hurt to be a PSF member in some capacity though! The nomination form will open May 6th and will be accessible via https://www.python.org/nominations/elections/.

Hi Eva,
If I understood correctly, we can apply from May 6th to run for the PSF board? What is the prerequisite for applications? I am currently contributing member, is anything else required?
Best, Dusan
