Updated whistleblower policy ready to review

[Andrew van der Stock]

Hi Leaders and Board,

The updated Whistleblower & Anti-Retaliation Policy is ready for review.

https://owasp.org/www-policy/operational/whistleblower

The main change is to ensure that the complaints relating to the Foundation or Foundation staff are handled by the newly updated and HR-approved Staff Handbook's complaint and whistleblowing policy/processes. Previously, the Compliance Committee couldn't enforce any such complaints, so this addresses that gap by ensuring that there is a valid complaint/whistleblowing procedure for the community and the Foundation.

thanks,

Andrew van der Stock
