Some thoughts and the things I would like to do/achieve in the GCC:

I have been a passive member as part of the Belgian OWASP chapter since 2007 and picked up the role of chapter leader in Japan end of 2011 after encouragement of some other OWASP leaders. I'm a founding member and was co-organizer of the not-for-profit BruCON conference which was well received and today with 400+ attendees has a fairly good and positive reputation in the community. I believe I can leverage this experience and advise other people organizing any OWASP conference and event. I want to especially focus on supporting events in the APAC region as well as within Japan. I want to improve collaboration between the different chapters and organizers.
