Notes
All-committee-chair call was held. Membership-relevant items that came out of that include:
- The Industry Committee has had folks express a desire for an NDA-like environment where members could discuss issues within OWASP but not have the results of those discussions broadcast. This may be of value, but would need to be reconciled with OWASP's requirement for Openness.
- The Conference Committee is in the process of creating a model for organizations to sign up for a package of sponsorships for conferences throughout the year. We may be able to link Membership with this to accomplish our goal of allowing organizations who want to give more than that $5k USD supporter fee to do so.
- There is talk of creating student chapters and people participating in those chapters would need some sort of membership. This needs to be deconflicted with University Supporters and other educational efforts coming out of OWASP
Helen spoke with OWASP chatpers around the world:
- Based on Helen's research talking to parties interested in OWASP around the world, it appears that a $20 Individual Membership fee and a $2000 Organizational Supporter fee is what the market will bear in non-US and non-Western Europe economies (note: Singapore folks appear to be all right with the existing fees of $50 and $5000 respectively).
- However we still need to address the issue of incentives to become a Member/Supporter because the altruistic model promoted to US/Wester European folks does not necessarily have a cultural analog in other parts of the world.
- "Certificates of participation" might be a potential benefit
- We could also partner with other developer and security organizations to try and drive awareness of OWASP membership and participation
- We need to be aware that having foreign organizations pay OWASP might be challenging. Using a personal account (specifically a credit card account) as an intermediary might be an option in some cases. Tax-free contributions to nonprofits are less common in other parts of the world. For example in China most organizations are either State-owned or private - there is less of a concept of non-profits
