- Jim added a 5th bulleted item regarding project quality
- Is there enough staff time to handle all 5 bullet? Sarah suggests that the 5 bulleted items are too much for the staff to handle in the remaining 7.5 months of the year and really make progress. Better to suggest the key items for focus now and not an exhaustive list of all items that need to be tackled indefinitely.
- Dave - remove first bullet, focus instead on Project Quality (5th bullet)
- Financial Stability - change to Financial Growth?
- Build the OWASP Platform - tailored to “Volunteer Engagement”

Corporate Sponsor and Advertising Change
- https://drive.google.com/a/owasp.org/folderview?id=0BxSfMVkfLvslVXdvUFV3NkxucWc&usp=sharing#
- Currently we are having trouble selling the value proposition to some corporate supporters at the $5k level so if we are removing benefits (such as advertising on the home page), what is our strategy for getting a higher commitment
- Value - Apache gives an “official” logo that says “I am an Apache Corporate Supporter at the Silver Level from x to x date” which they can post on their website
- Current corporate supporters being moved to bottom tier after being a supporter for many years may feel cheated in some way, so suggested grandfathering them in for a year at a middle tier.
- One benefit that we could be providing for organization is data points on what money is going towards and program details.
- We want to make sure we have detailed the change from the perspective of current supporters.
- What is the potential for growth on the model we go forward with?
- How can we encourage the big companies without discouraging the small companies?
