NEW GLOBAL COMMITTEE STRUCTURE
•	OWASP recognized the extraordinary contribution of our most active leaders by engaging them to lead a set of six new committees. Each democratically established committee will focus on a key function or geographic region, such as OWASP projects, conferences, local chapters, membership and industry outreach.

How to Join a Global Committee - Applications being accepted until January 9th 2009 for a 24 month term from Chapter Leaders and Project Leaders.

Framework
Projects & Tools

- Drive Alpha and Beta to release

- Strategic projects to meet the long-term mission (Example ESAPI)

Membership

- Increase membership 100% on individuals in 18 months ( members )

- Increase membership 100% on non-individuals (Org/Corp.,/Edu/Other) in 18 months ( members )

Conferences

- Identify XX events per year to be OWASP Conferences that are the primary supporting factor for grant projects, summits and operational costs

Education

- Establish a adoptable program that can be incorporated into Univ., and technical education programs that leverages the efforts of many at OWASP to raise the level of awareness to secure software.

Industry

- Start outreach to critical infrastructures worldwide such as:


 * electricity generation, transmission and distribution;


 * gas production, transport and distribution;


 * oil and oil products production, transport and distribution;


 * telecommunication;


 * water supply (drinking water, waste water/sewage, stemming of surface water (e.g. dikes and sluices));


 * agriculture, food production and distribution;


 * heating (e.g. natural gas, fuel oil, district heating);


 * public health (hospitals, ambulances);


 * transportation systems (fuel supply, railway network, airports, harbors, inland shipping);


 * financial services (banking, clearing);


 * security services (police, military).

They all use web applications...... some even protect human life as well as pii data and credit cards

- Have identify issues or "efforts" like the Browser Working Group and others, the group should invite Industry CIO/CISO's (perhaps as a "value" of corporate membership support) to want to publicly collaborate on a document of industry needs that can add value to having the support of OWASP Foundation for the greater good of secure software, a internet based global economic platform and humanitarian needs worldwide
