All active board proposals are listed here

  • 2017 Budget: Working Spreadsheet [Andrew]
    • Motion: All accounts belonging to active chapters and projects, as defined in the Chapter and Project Handbooks respectively, with balances less than $500, will be brought to $500 beginning January 1, 2017 as long as there are at least two active leaders at that time. [Josh]
    • Motion: Chapters and projects meeting minimum requirements (two leaders, flagship or lab projects) needing funds to host local chapter meetings, outreach, or run a local event, such as an OWASP Day, can apply for an operating grant of up to $2500 per year through the Community Manager, or for larger one off grants of up to $10k per year with Board approval. A pool of $100k will be allocated for this purpose on an annual basis, with quarterly reporting to the Board on its use. Chapter and project leaders will be informed of the funds presence every month, and will have to supply a written report of their use of funds (such as a blog post, meetup page update, or social media post) within 90 days of using the funds. Grant pool funds not allocated within each financial year are not accrued, but topped up to $100k at the start of each calendar year. [AJV]
