 2013 OWASP International Global Board of Directors Election The OWASP Foundation Board of Directors consists of six elected volunteers. These unpaid volunteers dedicate themselves to the organizational mission and play a pivotal role in the software security community. OWASP conducts democratic elections of its Board Members to enable bottom-up advancement of it's mission. OWASP bylaws specify the board must be between 5 and 7 members. Currently the OWASP board is 6 members. The current board voted to extend the number to 7 members. The 2013 election will now seat 4 spots instead of 3. The newly elected board members will begin their terms Jan 1, 2014. At this time we'll see the board officially expand to 7 members. 2013 Board Candidates Please click a candidates name for their bio and "why me" statement Abbas Naderi Afooshteh Kelvin Arcelay Ezendu Ariwa Sergi Belokamen Fabio Cerullo Michael Coates Bil Corry Tobias Gondrom Tahir Khan Timur kHrotko Martin Knobloch Gregory Disney-Leugers Jason Li Yiannis Pavlosoglu Ludovic Petit Josh Sokol Who Can Vote?
