eVote on Foundation Credit Cards

[Grant Ongers (OWASP)]

Hi all,

I've created an eVote on Doodle for a motion to allow Andrew and Tom to replace the Amex the Foundation currently uses with a credit card from Citizen. This allows us to leverage our own bank for the Foundations credit and removes the personal liability to Andrew for our credit usage. Please take a look and vote as soon as you are able to.

@Dawn Aitken the motion is brought by myself and seconded by @Sherif Mansour

Many thanks,

Grant

Could we have some details why this is required?

What is the current limit and why would we want to change it?

Kind regards,

Hi Martin, the main thing is not the limit - the main thing is that OWASP is paying for things with other people’s credit cards.

Mike was paying for OWASP expenses with a credit card issued to him (he was the personal guarantee of the card).

Now when Andrew joined and continued this - his personal credit score went down due to a late payment. So it impacted him personally (negatively).

Secondly it’s a conflict of interest - the card holder would benefit from the increase in points (and the effects of the credit rating) none of the benefits would be passed on to OWASP.

Finally the limits - in general should not be paying for things with a credit card (though some are needed) to demand good behaviour we also need to cap bad behaviour. Hence the limit. And it should be a corporate credit card and Andrew or Mike’s personal card.

That is the reason for the motion.

I hope this helps.

As Sherif has said the primary reason is for OWASP to own (and be responsible for) the credit in use. Otherwise it's a like for like, and brings the OWASP credit facilities inside our current bank. 

[Sherif Mansour]

Which is why I second that motion.

Thanks for proposing this Grant!

[Martin Knobloch]

See, that is the information I asked for, in order to make a sensible decision before voting ;)

Thanks Martin :-)

The vote has already passed with four yes votes cast, I would ask that the rest of the Board vote for completeness sake but Andrew, Tom, you can go ahead and get things rolling.

Many thanks,

Grant

[Andrew van der Stock]

Thank you. This is very much appreciated by my credit score :) Also, it will help when the staff travels next year.

thanks,

Andrew
