Hi Andrew, et all

This is awkward, as this breaks the normal procedures as done in the past.
Can you remind me why we divert from normal procedure / or when we agreed to do so?

Kind regards,
-martin

Martin,

This is actually the official procedure of OWASP, and you were one of the Board that approved this change. There was a Board vote in 2019 that said that there will be a special meeting in January each year to decide on strategy, and to do that, you will need to elect new officers. I ran a Doodle to find the best time.

So I don't know what we did in the past, but I am following the Board's vote and direction, giving plenty of notice of the forthcoming meeting and getting in folks' calendar as early as possible to maximize attendance. After leaving the Doodle open for two weeks, I chose the first meeting time that at least 8 or 9 folks could attend. With 10 attendees (Board + Andrew + Dawn + Tom Pappas), getting 8 or 9 is about as good as I can hope for.

The motion:

" 2019-09-25 Motion: the Board is to have a 4 hour video conference call in January each year in order to onboard new members, set strategy and assign Board Member roles. Ofer Maor motions, Owen Pendblebury seconds.. Passes: 6-1. In Favor: 6-1 (Ofer Maor, Richard Greenberg, Gary Robinson, Chenxi Wang, Owen Pendlebury and Martin Knobloch) Against: 1 (Sherif Mansour)."

thanks,
Andrew

Hi Richard,

Yes, organization can ask for it. 

Nevertheless, we as OWASP don't have the means no reason to do so, if not required by local government for an in-person event. 

Cheers, 
-martin
