Board

= Board Meetings = Bylaws are the most important legal document of any organization. Bylaws outline in writing the day-to-day rules for your organization and provide comprehensive guidelines to keep things running smoothly. If you want to understand the business of OWASP Foundation the best way to do that would be to examine the bylaws the the 990 forms filed with the United States Government as a non-profit annually.

= How Meetings Operate = CALL TO ORDER

The first order of business is for the chair to announce the call to order, along with the time. The secretary enters the time of the call to order in the minutes. After the meeting is called to order, the board chair may make welcoming remarks, ask for introductions, or read the organization’s mission and vision statements.

CHANGES TO THE AGENDA

The second order of business is for the chair to ask for changes to the agenda. Additions and deletions to the agenda will be made at this time. Having no changes, the agenda moves to approving the prior meeting’s minutes.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES

The third item on the agenda should list “Approval of Minutes” along with the date of the most recent meeting. In most cases, board members should have received a copy of the minutes prior to the meeting. If they have not contacted the secretary prior to the meeting with corrections or changes to the minutes, they have to opportunity to make them during this item on the agenda.

Board members have an ethical and legal responsibility to make sure that the recording of the minutes accurately reflect the board’s business.

REPORTS

The fourth item on the agenda is the reports. This first report should be a report from the Executive Director. This report should include a review of operations and projects. The Executive Director should give board members on overview of the business outlook including positive and negative trends, major initiatives, business updates, and other aspects of the business.

Following the Executive Director report, the Finance Director gives a report. Board members should make an effort to understand the financial reports so that they can identify potential financial threats. Understanding financial reports may also generate discussion about potential opportunities.

Subsequent reports may be given by committee chairs.

OLD BUSINESS

Items should include past business items that are unresolved, need further discussion, or require a board vote. Items may be tabled or referred to committee for further exploration.

NEW BUSINESS

Board members should have a discussion about new business items and identify a plan to take action. This may include tabling them, delaying action to a future date, or referring them to a committee.

COMMENTS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, AND OTHER BUSINESS

At this point in the agenda, members may make announcements, such as offering congratulations or condolences, or make other special announcements. Any other business may be brought up at this time, for example, items that may need to be added to the next meeting’s agenda.

ADJOURNMENT

This is a formal closing of the meeting by the board chair. He should state the time that the meeting closed, so that the secretary may including it in the board minutes. The date of the next meeting should follow the adjournment item, so that board members will be reminded to put it on their calendars.

= Voting History =

Historical Votes on Motions
The purpose of this is to track the position on each motion as presented and how the elected official voted on the motion. This is useful for the membership to review how elected officials voted on items that effect the organization and its bylaws. A motion is a request for action (budget requests, policy changes, new partnerships etc.) they can be presented by ANYONE to the board such as a member of the public, a member of the OWASP Foundation but does require a sponsor on the Board. That sponsor will present the motion to the board at least (10) working days in advance so it can be read in advance of the meeting. If appropriate a motion can be presented based to take action on the motion as written. For a vote to be called and action to be taken a second board member is required to carry the business to vote. On completion of the discussion the chairman will call for a vote to the motion YES, NO, ABSTAIN. For more details on this process try this CHEAT SHEET

Historical Board Votes

Note that if a motion is presented and is voted on and it is approved action will be taken to implement the motion. If the motion fails it can be resubmitted and the process starts again as if it is a new motion.

Attendance Tracker
This is used to keep track that Board Members meet 75% attendance requirements as noted in section 3.03 of the organization bylaws. A meeting is logged as attended if the board member attends the entire meeting as scheduled from the call to order until it is adjourned, this includes executive session if applicable that is closed to the membership and general public for reasons related to human resources and legal issues that require it by law or for the good of the OWASP Foundation Inc. - Board Meeting Attendance Tracker
