Deliverable 7
Revised Election Process
As a result of the OWASP Governance summit working session the following election process was defined.
- Modify the board to consist of 6 members
- Each board member will have a term of 2 years
- Board members will be limited to three terms
- Each year three board seats will be up for election
- Every OWASP Member gets one vote
- Any OWASP Member in good standing for the last 12 months may run for the Board
- OWASP will hold an election in 2011 for three board seats currently held by Jeff, Dave and Seba
- In 2012 the seats for Tom, Matt and Eoin will be up for election
Some additional comments/concerns that were captured at the session
- The by-laws need to be updated to reflect this change
- A mechanism for breaking board bote ties needs to be defined
- It may be more appropriate to have a process for nominating candidates for Board rather then allowing self nomination
- The transition process needs to be clearly defined to ensure knowledge management in transition
- A board member resignation is already handled by the existing by-laws
- A graduated term was discussed in place of simple 2 year terms
- It was suggested that the board be comprised of regional representatives
- It was suggested that an "advisory board" be created consisting of former board members to perserve institutional knowledge
- It was suggested that the board be limited to only a single member from any one company
