| In addition to the  Membership Committee membership split that provides funds to local chapters, it is also appropriate to allow local chapters to leverage the hard work that goes into planning events as additional revenue streams.  The committee considered weighing the needs of the OWASP Foundation, Local Chapters entrepreneurship, the desire not to create "haves and have not" chapters within OWASP in addition to many other factos when setting this policy.
