Governance/CorporateSponsorship

= Purpose = At the in-person Board Meeting in Hamburg, Germany on August 19, 2013 the board agree that OWASP should move to a tiered structure Corporate Membership - The board voted to move to a tiered corporate membership model. This enables organizations to support OWASP at a variety of levels.

Additionally, the Board determined that corporate member logos should move to an Acknowledgement Page - To provide a single clear page that acknowledges our corporate member supporters we will move the corporate logs from the bottom of the OWASP home page to a dedicated acknowledgement page. The home page will have clear graphics that encourage viewers to click and view the acknowledgements page.

The new model was finalized and approved by the Board of Directors on December 9, 2013. The new membership tiers will be rolled out on January 1, 2014 with banner ads and logos being removed from the home page by February 1, 2014.
