My only major recommendation is to better define the Global AppSec/Regional/Local break.  I'd recommend any event larger than 100 expected attendees (Things that are clearly chapter meeting, such as NY chapter meetings excluded) would be under the Conferences Committee purview.  Events expecting less than 100 attendees would all be classified as local events (unless they are deemed "conferences" for a specific reason), managed by the Chapters Committee and put into OCMS for GCC awareness when working the larger schedule items.

My Rationale: the Conferences Committee has the experience and knowledge regarding larger events i.e. conferences and the chapters committee does not have this focus. Larger events (over 100 expected attendees) and would benefit from knowledge and guidance of the conferences committee who has the experience with larger events.

Additionally, one of the conferences committee's major goals (and a primary reason for OCMS's existence) is to conflicting scheduling of events.  Larger events, including those with a regional draw need to be carefully managed as we are currently experiencing attendee, speaker, and sponsor fatigue with our schedule that's mostly in the second half of the year.  Local events IMO are more for GConfC awareness and tracking of the "official" event schedule, they rarely cost much (although almost all request some sort of funding/schwag and foundation support) and I can't think of a single local event that's turned a profit (many don't' charge a fee).  Personally I feel that the GChapC would be a fine venue to coordinate these activities so long as the GConfC still get awareness of them (Fore scheduling purposes).

From Kate:

  1. Be constructive. An idea is a seed and needs to be nurtured. If you do not agree with the idea, come up with an alternative, don’t just shoot it down.
  2. Be flexible. We can’t all get our way all the time.
  3. Follow through and be honest. If you say you are going to do something, please do it. if you don’t’ have time to do something, say that too.
  4. Encourage members to follow the discussions and to document their ideas. Let’s keep this open.
  5. Be creative! Come up with new ways of thinking and opportunities to make things happen!

Mark Bristow 11:50, 24 May 2011 (EDT) My only major recommendation is to better define the Global AppSec/Regional/Local break. I'd recommend any event larger than 100 expected attendees (Things that are clearly chapter meeting, such as NY chapter meetings excluded) would be under the Conferences Committee purview. Events expecting less than 100 attendees would all be classified as local events (unless they are deemed "conferences" for a specific reason), managed by the Chapters Committee and put into OCMS for GCC awareness when working the larger schedule items.

My Rationale: the Conferences Committee has the experience and knowledge regarding larger events i.e. conferences and the chapters committee does not have this focus. Larger events (over 100 expected attendees) and would benefit from knowledge and guidance of the conferences committee who has the experience with larger events.

Additionally, one of the conferences committee's major goals (and a primary reason for OCMS's existence) is to conflicting scheduling of events. Larger events, including those with a regional draw need to be carefully managed as we are currently experiencing attendee, speaker, and sponsor fatigue with our schedule that's mostly in the second half of the year. Local events IMO are more for GConfC awareness and tracking of the "official" event schedule, they rarely cost much (although almost all request some sort of funding/schwag and foundation support) and I can't think of a single local event that's turned a profit (many don't' charge a fee). Personally I feel that the GChapC would be a fine venue to coordinate these activities so long as the GConfC still get awareness of them (Fore scheduling purposes).
