I don't think there's a general purpose answer for this, except maybe: ask the chair(s) of the WGs ... https://wiki.python.org/psf/Contents#psf-working-groups -- Marc-Andre Lemburg Director Python Software Foundation http://www.python.org/psf/ http://www.malemburg.com/
In the case of the Grants WG, I believe that the charter says members are appointed/approved by the board. On 29 May 2016 at 09:29, M.-A. Lemburg <mal@python.org> wrote:

The reason why I asked this is because I am in the educational summit, and the speaker encouraged folks to join the working group. I was looking at this link: https://www.python.org/psf/committees/, which makes it a little more confusing. It seems like this page https://wiki.python.org/psf/Contents#psf-working-groups & the links off of that page seem to explain more. Is there a reason why this https://www.python.org/psf/committees/ & https://wiki.python.org/psf/Contents#psf-working-groups exists? This page https://wiki.python.org/psf/Contents#psf-working-groups is more welcoming to newbies who don't understand how things work.

Well, first... the education WG charter should state what the membership criteria are. As I recall from talking to Carrie Ann, they welcome all. Second, synchronizing content (and making it user friendly) is a continual challenge. Definitely this is an area that needs some love.

/me tries to gently close the can of worms and realizes it is too late. Worms are everywhere. What is the difference between? https://www.python.org/ <https://www.python.org/psf/committees/> & https://wiki.python.org/ ^^ should one set of pages be redirected?

Only historical reasons. Up until a few months ago, the PSF wiki was only accessible to PSF members, so the second link was not public. We subsequently changed the default on the PSF wiki to readable by everyone (see attached email). -- Marc-Andre Lemburg Python Software Foundation http://www.python.org/psf/ http://www.malemburg.com/
