		+	== My overall vision for OWASP ==
		+
		+	==== Enable contributors ====
		+	The purpose of the Board is to ENABLE contributors
		+	* Allow project leaders to focus on their projects and have the OWASP organization promote them
		+	* Allow chapter leaders to focus on their communities and have the OWASP organization take care of back-end management
		+
		+	==== Professional face ====
		+	OWASP needs a professional face to get more adoption in the software development industry
		+	* There has to be a more user-friendly and efficient front-page for OWASP
		+	** Needs to address people in different roles (CISOs thru geeks)
		+	** Needs to show high-value to users consistently
		+	* OWASP needs to promote projects in a unified voice
		+	** Select and promote projects that are enterprise caliber
		+	** Promote OWASP in non-OWASP circles such as software development conferences and industry-specific events (financial services, retail, etc.)
		+	* Dev leaders need to be able to trust the quality of what they get from OWASP
		+	** This is key to brand protection and needed by any organization of our size/diversity
		+	* OWASP eventually needs to run like other open-source foundations (e.g. Apache)
		+	** Officers and assigned roles/responsibilities
		+
		+	==== Industry feedback ====
		+	OWASP needs more driving influence from our "customers", i.e. the development and appsec community
		+	* Form an Industry Advisory Board
		+	** Ask them directly what they want from OWASP, what their pain points are, & how we can help
		+	** Ask non-members what it would take for them to join OWASP
		+	** Offer Corporate Members a recurring seat on the advisory board for joining (increases membership)
		+	* Organize "steering committees" for key projects that want them
		+	** Useful for Corporate Members to provide feedback directly to projects that they rely upon
		+	** Provides a forum for critical feedback and ideas for future directions
		+
		+
		+	==My OWASP history==
