Budget Update

 * SB - Board approved 1/2 of our budget ($24,500) on Monday's meeting and will decide on the other half within a couple of weeks.

AppSecEU

 * SB - Industry Committee hosting industry breakout sessions. Who is going from GIC?  Who do we need to send invites out to? What is our game plan?
 * CW and EK already attending. RB, NK, and LA are all interested in attending if GIC will sponsor.
 * JB - we should plan on sending RB and NK based on their current Industry iniatives (CISO survey and GIC outreach presentation). We could maybe send LA depending on her proposed ROI.  JB and LA to have follow-up conversation on this.
 * SB to follow up and get list of attendees from Fabio and Eoin, from there we can figure out who to get involved/invite for breakout sessions.

OWASP Panel at Brighttalk AppSec Summit

 * DC participated in panel talking about OWASP along with Justin Clarke, Dennis Grove, and Derek Brink - approx. 80 attendees and session is archived online and available for those who want to check it out.
 * NKhas agreed to put together a ppt for the GIC to use in outreach efforts. She is looking for feedback on what committee members want in the presentation, and will follow up with an email to the GIC.  Also, after she puts together a finished product in the upcoming weeks, she will send a draft to rest of committee for review.

Surveys

 * Monthly subscription to SurveyMonkey has been purchased for $23.99/month. We expect to continue with this for 6 months to post the GASS survey put together by EK. SB has posted this survey to SurveyMonkey and is awaiting feedback from EK before sending it to rest of committee for review.


 * RB is putting together another survey based on idea started at the Global Summit in Portugal. This survey is CISO focused and will be delivered during face time with various industry personnel (seeking to utilize opportunities we wouldn't otherwise have).
 * RB is in the process of putting together a project plan and will send to GIC in the next couple of weeks. The survey itself is more long term (not a month or two).
 * RB's employer - Grant Thornton - has offered to sponsor the survey. They will pay to be an organizational/corporate OWASP sponsor ($5000 of which the GIC will receive 40% or $2000). Also Grant Thornton will be responsible for the back end analysis - delivering the results and outcomes publication. In exchange they would like their logo on the front cover of the survey. For an example see Aspect Security's sponsorship of the ESAPI project.
 * No committee member concerns vocalized at this time.
 * RB will follow up with Kate Hartmann on payment logistics and possible contract/agreement with Grant Thornton.

Other Organizational Supporters

 * DC spoke with a contact regarding possibility of Google becoming a OWASP corporate sponsor. With Grant Thornton's corporate sponsorship, there is a clear tangible value for the sponsorship, but what can OWASP or the GIC provide/offer to Google as a ROI. The GIC needs to think about what we could offer Google and other companies who we want to bring in as sponsors and hope to get involved in the organization. $5000 is a relatively small amount for these orgs and we should not be shy about asking them to support.
 * Committee should think about this and we will discuss further at next meeting.

New GIC Member

 * NK was previously approved as GIC committee member, she has resigned from GEC so now can be an official voting member of GIC. Please welcome her!

New GIC Mission Statement

 * SB - we need to have a vote on the new GIC mission statement: To expand the engagement of OWASP and its mission amongst the public and private sector verticals, through outreach; including presentations, development of position papers and collaborative efforts. The Global Industry Committee serves as the voice of OWASP within the public and private sector and the channel through which OWASP aligns its efforts to the demands of the market.


 * SB to send out email to committee members for an official vote.

Committee Governance

 * SB - The Conferences Committee has put together a basic committee governance structure: http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Global_Conferences_Committee_Governance    Can we adopt a slightly modified (to fit the GIC's initiatives) version? What changes would people like to see?
 * NK put together a version of this for the Education Committee and thinks it is a good idea for us to follow this same model.
 * SB to format version for GIC and send out to Committee for comment and vote.

Lucas Ferreira's Open Letter to the Brazilian Government

 * Lucas's open letter to the Brazilian Government - CW has provided some feedback on the letter and MF (as well as Lucas) has asked for the support of the GIC as a whole.
 * DC - this is just the sort of project that the GIC should be doing, he is in support.
 * CW - thinks it would be good to have support from other Brazilian OWASP chapters as well.
 * SB - to follow up with Lucas let him know that we understand he is following up with other Brazilian chapters, in the mean time GIC will circulate document. We hope to have a unified statement /support to provide the document soon.

FSIAC Summit

 * FSISAC Summit - May 2. JB plans to attend and arrive a day early to promote OWASP and the GIC mission. He will follow up after the event with the committee.

Jeff Williams' email on outreach to other communities

 * Jeff's email to OWASP leaders yesterday re: Outreach --> Should GIC play a role in this effort?
 * CW - other OWASP leaders already involved including Dave Wichers and John Wilander (with Developers Group), not sure the GIC has the bandwidth to take this on.
 * JB - table this discussion for later.

National Volunteer Week

 * April 10-16 is National Volunteer Week -- What can the GIC do to leverage this and promote our efforts? How can we raise awareness of the great things we are doing globally?
 * The OWASP Foundation is a 99.9% volunteer driven organization! Let’s take this time to recognize those volunteers who have dedicated their time and talent to making the universe safer for the rest of us.
 * Stats: Mailing list of 25,000, 135 active projects, 70 active chapters globally, volunteer organized conferences on every continent, committees, influencing education and government
 * SB - All committee members are encouraged to use this opportunity to promote OWASP as well as the GIC -- blog, tweet and whatever other social media you use can be a chance to spread the word.
