[Owasp-leaders] Fwd: OWASP Certification - PureIQ

[McGovern, James F. (eBusiness)]

Several dumb questions
 
1. So exactly what is an OWASP expert and which among us gets to take
the test or say that others should take the test?
2. Good testing procedures require having someone who doesn't know the
subject area to also take the test. Imagine if my eight year son scored
higher than me simply by guessing better.
3. Should we have a "public" opinion posted somewhere on our website as
the outside world will think we suck for not addressing the needs of the
marketplace.

	Hi leaders,  

	Please see below an olive branch
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_branch>  from the PureIQ guys.

	Any comments before I/Jeff/Dave responds? 

	Question: Which OWASP committee/project should be managing this?

	Good afternoon M. Cruz,

	 

	I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself.  I'm
John Murray, the VP of Business Development unit at PureIQ.

	 

	I was reading in your message board a comment related to our
OWASP Certification.

	 

	We are a neutral certification provider and we had developed
this certification to fill a gap in the industry since there is no OWASP
certification to evaluate consultant competencies in the area.

	 

	PureIQ will be more than happy to collaborate and work closely
with OWASP for further development and contributions.  We have
everything in place to provide top quality testing (platform, software,
testing centers, & infrastructure) for OWASP.

	 

	Also, one of the suggestions in the board was to evaluate our
certification in an upcoming OWASP conference at no cost for the
experts.

	PureIQ is open to this suggestion or any constructive dialog.

	 

	Please let me know your initial thoughts.

	 

	John Murray

	Business Development Manager, PureIQ
