[Committees-chairs] Next Board Meeting Planning

[Kate Hartmann]

Chairs, in an effort to help facilitate the board meetings, I have put
together a very short PPT template for you to use.  Hopefully, this will
help topics stay on track and make it easier for things that require a vote
to be identified.  If you could send these to me by Friday, April 1, I will
make sure they get uploaded to the agenda for you.  The board meetings are
scheduled for the first Monday of each month, so the next call will be
Monday, April 4th.  I will prepare one for the "cross committee" concepts
that were mentioned in this week's call.  On the board meeting agenda, I
think this will probably soon replace "other foundation business" since it
really is a composite of everything else that's going on.

 

Also, as discussed during the previous board meeting, all committee budgets
need to be submitted prior to the next board meeting so they can be
reviewed.  I would like to provide a week for the board to review the
budgets against the P&L, so if you have not done so already, could you
please forward these to me by Monday, March 28th.

 

You will notice that on the template, one of the first items to note is the
committee Mission Statement.  This is a result of discussions from various
calls and meetings that each committee really needs to define what its
purpose is (or is going to be) so we can avoid potential duplication of
efforts.

 

Finally, for Industry, Chapters, Conferences, and Membership.  Please review
the skeleton job description here:
http://www.owasp.org/images/6/6b/Operational_Support_for_OWASP_Global_Commit
tee.pdf and try and adapt it to suit your committee.  I am happy to write in
what I think it should be, but that probably wouldn't be the right thing to
do.  Any tasks that go beyond taking meeting minutes or sending out meeting
invites etc. should be directly related to something identified in the
committee mission statement that the committee members are not - for
whatever reason - able to accomplish.  This is a facilitator position, and
I'm afraid that it could easily turn into more than intended.  April 1 is
the beginning of Q2 and, since this is a new concept, it would probably be a
good idea to check in on this quarterly for the rest of 2011.
