| 10 | +The PSRT publishes a full |

| 18 | +How can I join the PSRT? |
| 19 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Anyone can join the PSRT following a nomination process |
| 22 | +`similar to core team nominations`_. Nomination for a new member |
| 23 | +is brought to the PSRT by an existing PSRT member and then |
| 24 | +this nomination is voted on by existing PSRT members. |
| 25 | +The nomination succeeds if the nomination receives at least |
| 26 | +two-thirds positive votes from a vote of existing PSRT members |
| 27 | +that is open for one week and not vetoed by the Steering Council. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +Once per year the Steering Council will receive a report of inactive members |
| 30 | +of the PSRT with the recommendation to remove the inactive users from the PSRT. |
| 31 | +“Inactive” is defined as a member who hasn’t coordinated or commented on a |
| 32 | +vulnerability report in the past year since the last report was generated. |
| 33 | +The Steering Council may remove members of the PSRT with a simple vote. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +Members of the PSRT who are a Release Manager or Steering Council member may |
| 36 | +remain in the PSRT regardless of inactivity in vulnerability reports. |

| 40 | +Responsibilities of PSRT members |
| 41 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Below are the responsibilities of PSRT members: |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +* Being knowledgeable about typical software vulnerability report handling |
| 46 | + processes, such as CVE IDs, patches, coordinated disclosure, embargoes. |
| 47 | +* Not sharing or acting on embargoed information about the reported |
| 48 | + vulnerability. Examples of disallowed behavior include sharing information |
| 49 | + with colleagues or publicly deploying unpublished mitigations or patches ahead |
| 50 | + of the advisory publication date. |
| 51 | +* Acting as a “Coordinator” of vulnerability reports that are submitted to |
| 52 | + projects. A Coordinator’s responsibility is to move a report through the PSRT |
| 53 | + process to a “finished” state, either rejected or as a published advisory and |
| 54 | + mitigation, within the industry standard timeline of 90 days. |
| 55 | +* As a Coordinator, involving relevant core team members or triagers where |
| 56 | + necessary to make a determination whether a report is a vulnerability and |
| 57 | + developing a patch. Coordinators are encouraged to involve members of the core |
| 58 | + team to make the best decision for each report rather than working in isolation. |
| 59 | +* As a Coordinator, calculating the severity using CVSS and authoring advisories |
| 60 | + to be shared on `security-announce@python.org`_. These advisories are used for |
| 61 | + CVE records by the `PSF CVE Numbering Authority`_. |
| 62 | +* Coordinators that can no longer move a report forwards for any reason must |
| 63 | + delegate their Coordinator role to someone else in the PSRT. |

| 67 | + |
| 68 | +Responsibilities of PSRT admins |
| 69 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +PSRT members who are designated as admins by the Steering Council have the |
| 72 | +following additional responsibilities: |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +* Triaging the ``security@python.org`` mailing list. |
| 75 | +* Managing PSRT membership access including the CloneAGC team, the mailing list, |
| 76 | + and Discord channel, to ensure they are synchronized with the canonical list |
| 77 | + of PSRT members. |
| 78 | +* On a yearly basis, providing the Steering Council with a report including a |
| 79 | + list of inactive PSRT members. |
| 80 | +* Running nomination elections, including counting final votes and giving |
| 81 | + the Steering Council an opportunity to veto nominations via email. |
