* Nominees to the PC must now themselves be PSF members. * Take out mention of Bloc STAR and the detailed mechanics of the election process, in order to allow easier administration by the PSF staff. This lets them conduct elections using the same mechanics as Board elections, which currently is not Bloc STAR due to the unavailability of a suitable open source platform. * Describe "off cycle" elections since post-recall elections and the initial election will likely not align with the annual Board election. * Slight rewording of the admonition against sitting SC members from serving on the PC. * Describe what happens in partial (i.e. cohort) elections to ensure the "no two members from the same employer" rule. * Explicitly place the PC and its participants under the PSF CoC. * Explicitly mention that PSF voting members can opt out of PC elections independently of their choice to participate in Board elections.

The "PSF voting members" link at https://pep-previews--4466.org.readthedocs.build/pep-0772/#election-of-the-packaging-council is broken.
Perhaps it should link to https://www.python.org/psf/membership/ ?
