Governance/ProjectSponsorship

= Purpose = OWASP needs to define our approach to handling corporate sponsorship and branding of OWASP projects. To do so we are engaging the community to discuss and flush out different options. We'll then include a vote on the 2013 annual election ballot on this issue. The new policy will take effect for all new branding and sponsorships starting January 1, 2014. Existing branding decisions will not be required to retroactively modify.

= The Options = ''Please feel free to add additional bullets to any of the cells. Please do not remove existing items.''

 * 3) Clerkendweller (talk) 08:00, 9 October 2013 (UTC) - For Option 2, will the project leaders have the ability to opt out from having their own work branded by someone else - for a period, and/or forever?
 * 4) Clerkendweller (talk) 08:00, 9 October 2013 (UTC) - The issue of branding/logos on project outputs hasn't been addressed, but might be expected as well by sponsors, or might be desired by some project contributors. For example a logo on a tool UI or in a tool's help pages, or a logo on a document front cover or on an inside page.
