[Owasp-leaders] Chapter elections

[dinis cruz]

Humm, sorry if I was to harsh on that comment :)

I was just trying to simplify things, since running a local chapter is a lot
of work and until you get to 3 or 5 guys running the show (usually) there
isn't a need for hierarchy .

But hey, you guys decide what is the best model over there :)

The Global Chapters Committee should be documenting all these different
operational models so that each chapter has a framework (and real world
examples) of the model more suitable to their environment.

>> All,

>> We have a very unusual situation in the Northern Virginia chapter -
>> there's an election scheduled for this month's meeting (I'm stepping
>> down as chapter chair), because we have two people who want to be the
>> chapter leader (obviously I hope that whoever wins will solicit the
>> other person for help).  In all my years of volunteer work, this is
>> probably the first where there's been competition for a volunteer
>> job...
>>
>> Anyway, the question is whether people can vote "absentee".  The
>> chapter handbook is silent on elections, probably because this has
>> never happened before.  Nor, for that matter, does the handbook say
>> who can vote.  My assumption was that anyone who shows up can vote,
>> and there is no absentee voting, but one of the candidates has sent a
>> message to the list saying that people who can't come should send me
>> their absentee votes.
>>
>> Help, please!  The meeting is this Thursday!
>>
>> --Jeremy

>> P.S. The VERY good news on this is that dozens of people who don't
>> ordinarily attend OWASP meetings are planning to attend in order to
>> vote - which might increase our attendance in the future.
