OWASP Honorary Member/Leader Process

Overview

• Annual Self Nomination Process
• State work contributed to OWASP as justification for honorary status
• Submissions evaluated and decided by Global Membership Committee - intent is to liberally award those that are actively contributing to OWASP

Why This Approach

• Decentralized - This requires the individual to self evaluate and present their justification. This is much more scalable than a central group trying to identify all leaders. A group can then manage the number of submitted justifications.
• Individually Driven - No worry of forgetting someone since people nominate themselves. If they aren't aware of the new process, then they probably aren't that active in the organization (provided we appropriately advertise / discuss)
• Keeps People Accountable - Can't just grab a chapter lead/ committee / board spot and sit on it. We'll reward those that are contributing.

Example Justification Questions

Chapter Leaders

• How many chapter meetings have you organized in the past year?
• What has been the total turn out at these meetings

Project Leaders

• What significant contributions have you made to your project in the last year?
• Has the project reached a major milestone?
• Has the project been featured in any blogposts, conferences, magazines, etc?

Global Committee Members

• What percentage of the meetings have you attended for your committee?
• What contributions have you made to the committee?

Board Members

• What percentage of the board meetings have you attended?
• What initiatives have you led for OWASP in the past year?

For All

• Are there any other ways you have been helping advance OWASP?
• Anything else we missed?
