OWASP Points

OWASP Points are a system that allows us to recognize individual participation in OWASP. The system is designed to be distributed and self nominated.


 * Each Global Committee will establish it's own criteria for assigning points for participation in the committee's area of responsibility
 * The OWASP Board will establish points for areas outside committee areas of responsibility
 * The Committee chairs and a board rep will meet as needed (at least quarterly) to normalize the point values
 * OWASP Members will have the ability to self nominate for points
 * Each Committee will be responsible for providing overnight of points claimed under their areas

Members can self-nominate for points by adding the associated "Badge" to their wiki user account. It is the intention of the point system that any individual who reaches a total of 100 Points. At the beginning of each year, half of all member points will be carried over to the next calendar year.
