Disscussion

1. The structure of the board:
   1. Do we need more diverse views on the board? e.g. adding 1 or 2 indpependent board memebers who have difference experiences in charities/foundations (i.e. specialise in finance/HR/Governance etc..).
   2. The concern is we have a rotating list of board memebers who specialise in AppSec, but not necessarily the skills needed to set the strategy for a foundation. For most foundations (can companies their boards are people form diverse backgrounds for that very reason.
2. Adding Resilence in the managment of the foundation:
   1. An ED for OWASP must be a full time epmployee. If the chairperson would like to step in the role of (interim) ED they can do so, but only if they take a full time position within OWASP (which also means resigning from their current full eomployment roles).
   2. Should we have a clause that says at any time we need a named iterim ED incase anything goes wrong.
   3. Establish a process for the interm period (either we find a new ED, or tranistion the interm ED into the permanent role.
3. Setting Scheduled Cycles for the foundation strategy:
   1. We need a process to develop, review, and adjust the strategic direction for the foundation on a regularl basis, that is also in-sync with the BoD elections.
   2. We still (as of end of June) do not have a strategy for the foundation agreed for the foundation to execute, granted we have a few initiatives we need to address in peice meal but we have not set the over all picture.
   3. I have seen a proposal from Karen but this needs to be reviewed and agreed with the BoD ammendments. As a board we have yet to set one, and I would like us to go over this during the meetings.
