Talk:Chapter Handbook/Chapter 4: Chapter Administration

4.1 OWASP Email Addresses

Add "and project leaders"

The rest is specific to chapter leaders. Project leader handbook needs to expand info on OWASP.org emails.

4.2: OWASP Wiki

Last bullet: Other promotional services such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Ning, Meetup, etc. are fine to inform people about your local chapter and its activities; however, the OWASP Chapter Wiki Page should be the authoritative information at all times.

This bullet should be a separate paragraph, not a sub bullet under what to post on the wiki. Include Ning and other platforms mentioned above.

4.3 Local Domain Names

Should we add a note about contacting Foundation staff to approve external websites? CJK and right to left languages could be a problem for our wiki that is resolved by using a different CMS, rather than just pointing the domain to the global website. This is an exception that requires approval. China and Korea are examples of external websites.

I also suggest adding if an exception is permitted that every effort be made to inform the Foundation about changes to leadership and upcoming meetings so that the global site information is up to date.

4.4: Mailing Lists

Job Board On wiki has been removed and replaced functionally with the LinkedIn job discussion board. The jobs link is no longer available on the home page.

Edit suggestion: reference LinkedIn job board. Possibly add a link to home page.

4.5: Social Media

Suggested addition: "Conversely, since the chapter page on the OWASP wiki is the official representation of the chapter, communication on social media platforms should complement, not replace the wiki page. Do keep any new event or activity announcements up to date on the wiki page, per section 4.2."

4.6: Organizing Your Contacts

Add a reminder to abide by confidentiality rules. Member lists may not be distributed outside of chapter leadership.

Should we also state that member lists can be distributed to chapter members for networking purposes as long as individual members opt in?

4.7: Handling Money

Remove reference to Global Chapter Committee. Who should be the contact for the treasurer information? Community Manager? ED? Accountant? or Community 2.0 leadership?

4.7.1: Spending Guidelines

Add link to the Donation Scorecard so leaders can look up their current allocation. Replace Global Chapters Committee with Community Manager.

4.7.2: Additional Expense Policies

Does anyone actually publish exceptions to their expense policies to the wiki?

4.7.4: Chapter Budget

We need a description of the purpose and process for chapter budgets. This is just a link to the template.

4.7.5: Money Not Tracked by the Foundation

Suggested: To avoid appearance of impropriety, forward all potential donors to the Donate button on your chapter wiki page or to approved third party processors.

4.8: Charging for Events

Change reference to Global Conferences Committee to Global Foundation.

Remove: Should you feel that your event should be managed by the Global Chapter Committee instead of the Global Conferences Committee please submit an email to the chairs of both the Chapters and Conferences Committees with your rationale for consideration of an exception.
