Revisit - OWASP Summit request for $85,000

Seba explained that based on the current numbers the original seed money of $150,000 will be reimbursed to OWASP Foundation.

The request is the ability to spend $85,000 of the $150,000 of the seed money, but with no guarantee that the money will be reimbursement. He is hoping that enough tickets will sell but can not guarantee it.

He split the amount of $85,000 into two categories.

Based on the conversations, the Board is comfortable at this stage approving $85,000. Josh, Matt were comfortable with $25,000.

Matt Konda requested that Seba, Matt T. and Johanna review the current budget. He is asking for Seba to submit a detailed request for the $85,000. They will review while in Belfast and will submit their findings to Matt Konda, who will pass along to the additional Board Members.
