Observant Pathfinders may have noticed something new on each thread in the Pathfinder Society forums. We now have a FAQ queue specifically for Pathfinder Society rules questions. You can find the Pathfinder Society FAQ here.
If, in the course of discussing the Pathfinder Society Organized Play campaign, you feel that a specific question or rules clarification should be included in the FAQ, simply flag the post as an FAQ candidate and we will review it as quickly as possible. Not all flagged posts will be added to the FAQ, but we will consider them all and either respond in the post's thread with a clarification, move the thread to the Pathfinder RPG Rules Discussion subforum for general rules questions, or add the query and answer to the FAQ.
In the coming weeks, elements from version 3.0.3 of the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play that were deemed too situational or class-specific to justify a presence in version 4.0 of the Guide will appear on the FAQ, as will additional clarifications and rulings based on ongoing messageboard discussions.
Thank you all for your interest in the Pathfinder Society Organized Play campaign and your ongoing efforts to improve it through clearer rules documentation.
Since the FAQ will include things not being put into the Guide, will everything in the FAQ be considered official just as if it were in the Guide or will the FAQ fall into the "clarification or suggestion" category? I guess I am trying to ask, is the FAQ mandatory or optional for PFS play? Also, will the FAQ be made available to download as a PDF or should we just print the pages themselves?

The Pathfinder Society FAQ and any Pathfinder RPG FAQs are considered official rules for the campaign. They are not, however, something that every player needs to have on them to run a game, as the issues covered in them are likely to affect certain groups based on race, class, feat selection, etc. If someone has a character with aspects covered in the FAQ, they should print those sections out to present to GMs, but needn't bring the whole FAQ.
There are currently no plans to make a pdf version of the FAQ.
