I am going to reply from the perspective of a PSSI member and a
non-PSSI member, because both are important.

PSSI member
=========

>From the PSSI web site (https://pssi.org.in/):

"PSSI is not directly connected to PSF in any organizational or
hierarchical manner."

"Copyright and Trademarks of Python Programming language are vested in
the PSF. PSSI has no such rights on Python."

As a PSSI member, I cannot claim rights for the name "PyCon" in India
because PSSI has willingly agreed that all Python related trademarks
are vested in PSF, including "PyCon" and claims no right on the same.

I, like others, can only request their permission to use the name for
my intended purpose. On the same clause, I am not authorized to tell
other people whether they can use the name or not.

Non-PSSI member
===============

If the trademark owner willingly agrees, then any third-party can use
the name, and my objections are baseless.

HTH.

Regards,

SK
