Question

OWASP project leaders, chapter leaders and members, as it grows what do you want OWASP to become?

• A certifying and CBK type pseudo-company like (ISC)2?
• An open source project organized along the lines of Debian, Apache, or a similar group that owns a set of projects?
• Does OWASP want to certify apps, testers, both or none? (I've seen all POV advocated)
• Who will be required to pay what kind of dues, if any?
• How formal of an organization will OWASP become?
• Is the status quo preferable to the proposed change?
• Other?
