>>

>>    - There should be no discussion, forum or other content restricted by
>>    this subgroup. OWASP material will remain free and open.
>>    - We should avoid wording that alienate people and deviate from the
>>    OWASP mission. We need to pay attention to content on OWASP website,
>>    RegOnline, marketing material, etc.
>>    - Protect member privacy in the subgroup
>>    - OWASP reserves the right to remove a subgroup member
>>    - There will be two ways to join the subgroup.
>>       1. RegOnline – There will be a check box that say something like
>>       this: Join LinkedIn for OWASP Confirmed Members: Yes/No LinkedIn
>>       for OWASP Confirmed Members is a …. This a subgroup of Global OWASP
>>       Foundation LinkedIn group which is open to all LinkedIn members.
>>       The default option is No.
>>       2. LinkedIn – A person can apply to join the subgroup on the

>>    FYI - The existing Global OWASP Foundation LinkedIn group<http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Global-OWASP-Foundation-36874>has 10k+ members. In the week of March 11, 2012, 86 people joined, 12
