Best practices

Note: these best practices are merely a collection of procedures deemed good process for a board. They are not binding and have not been voted on or ratified by the board to this date. Online: http://www.rulesonline.com/rror--00.htm

Best Practices for Board conduct:

We consider it best practices for our board to follow in spirit the "Robert's Rules of Order".

  • That means that board votes require a motion brought forth by one board member and to be seconded by an other board member.
    • A motion should be specific, unique, and concise. It should include all the relevant details, be unambiguous, and leave as little room for interpretation as possible.
  • After the motion has been seconded the board may discuss the issue and / or vote on it.

A board member makes a motion and the board waits for your motion to be seconded. With few exceptions, all motions need to be seconded by another member of the Board. This is to ensure that the Board does spend its time effectively and not evaluating a proposal which only one member favors.

  • In a formal setting, they will say something along the lines of "I second the motion," or even just "I second."
  • In certain cases, such as when a general consensus is apparent, the presiding officer can choose to skip this step and move on to the next one.

First suggested priority of Board

  • What are the top 5 "Initiatives" we want or believe the OWASP Community should be focusing on in 2016-2017? (Areas that should receive our time effort & money.)
  • Intent here is to stimulate a Board level & Community discussion about strategic goals, and then actionable objectives that.....a) align with mission of OWASP, and b) stimulate enough interest at Community level to cause volunteers to engage & participate, and c) produce output of value and benefit to owasp community on a Global basis.

Projects

  • Project Review & Project Platform - good progress, keep it going
  • "more" volunteer engagement to provide more diverse review would be good.
  • New Project Ideas - Where is industry going, where will it be in 5 years?
  • Project Summit support & funding
  • International Chapter / Region support & funding

Training

  • Training is OK now....but what do we want to do here? Business as usual?
  • Update current project level training docs, or
  • Begin some form of Curriculum for Academic use?

Advocacy

  • Liaison with other Orgs
    • ID those Developer groups and go to their conferences & meetings
    • ...just a few, but caution is to approach 1-2 at a time and get an outcome
  • Regulatory policy (lobbying). OK, if its is a hot topic to some....then BoD should encourage it and help first set of people get that WG started and provide small set of guidelines on Advocacy vs. Lobbying.
  • Crank out true press releases or blogs say on quarterly basis when we have couple public releases.
  • Consider WG and provide small set of guidelines on Advocacy vs. Lobbying.

Community Portals

  • Should be our goto destination for owasp community to access for current & relevant info on OWASP activities.
  • Focused WG to take action on Wiki Cleanup & ease of use.
  • Consider funding larger wiki cleanup and migration effort (Jim)

Marketing

  • General PR & Marketing the OWASP Story - Promote ourselves more!
  • Crank up a Recruiting program - Both Corporate & Individual.
