[Global_conference_committee] Questions about OWASP support to local chapters

[Kate Hartmann]

Well, the question of how the finances were managed still remains unanswered.  Was a company hired to manage the funds?  Were they run through Rip’s bank account?

 

Also, as mentioned, we can definitely provide reimbursement for a local chapter (as indicated below) but we need to understand what this is for?  We would need receipts, bills, agreed upon contracts, etc.

 

Based on what you’ve given me so far, expenses for the conference were:  $41,081 and revenue was $31,480.  These numbers you’ve given me also include what appears to be a personal sponsorship by Rip.

 

This would indicate there was a $10K loss for the Summit.

 

So, my question of how these finances were managed really comes to play.  To whom would the foundation issue a payment and what would it be for?  Are there outstanding invoices?

 

Really, the support to local chapters is different than support for a conference or summit.  I really need to understand what the $2500 request is for.

 

I have included the Global conference committee on this thread so they can provide input as well.  Thank you.

Helen, this is a new initiative (decided upon in September).  The foundation will provide up to $2500 in support for a local chapter to the chapter leader.  The expenses need to be clearly documented on the chapter wiki page.

Hi, Kate.

I just learned from Tom Brennan about the OWASP policy regarding financial support to local chapters.  If I understand him correctly, the foundation will provide up to $2,500 financial support to a local chapter.  The China chapter asked me to find out more details.  Would you be able to help me with this?

Thanks.
