Included here is a list with each of the board-approved candidates, accompanied by notations on their current and past relationship with the ISC2 board, and links to learn more.
Voting is open November 16th through November 30th. You have two weeks to research candidates, make decisions, and lock in your vote. Once you submit your vote, you cannot change it, so I encourage you to use whatever time you need to be comfortable with your selections.
As I’m sure you know if you’re reading this, I am one of the 8 people on the ISC2 board-approved election ballot. You can read more about me and my objectives for ISC2 board at Who is this person running for (ISC)2 board? (JJ) http://securityuncorked.com/?p=1793.
Moving forward in this post, I’m treating myself as “just another candidate” for the purposes of demonstrating the current and past relationship of each candidate to the ISC2 board.
I’m also omitting any opinions as to whether it would be beneficial to elect candidates with current or past relationships with ISC2, or whether it is best to elect candidates with no prior ISC2 board relationship. That debate is for you. Here, I simply present the facts for your consumption.

A standard term is 3 years. Some candidates below will have a seemingly strange number of years on the board. These appear to be due to times when that member was appointed, or asked to serve in a board position at the absence of the elected member. Some elected members have stepped down or relinquished their slots, and the board then appoints someone to fill that gap.

I’ve included links to resources, for you to use for your own research. I make no guarantee as to the accuracy of my summaries and encourage you to report any discrepancies you find in your own research. Information compiled from LinkedIn and candidate bios.

If you’re seeking my personal opinion, I’ll be voting from the left column (new candidates) along with my write-in suggestions (for a total of 5). You do what works for you!
Richard, it’s nothing personal, as detailed here http://securityuncorked.com/?p=1806. I have my opinions, and more importantly, the membership at large has theirs, and I’m trying to do what I can to meet a need.
I know that Flemming can speak for himself, but he has served two years as Board treasurer up to this year, and is the current chair of the ethics committee. It seems strange to me that you would encourage folk to vote for someone on the understanding that they’ve not taken active involvement, and dissuade votes for people that have worked diligently ;-)
Hi Richard, thanks for the note. The lists aren’t only based on time served with the board; they’re based on contribution and leadership. I could find no records of Flemming being on as a Chairman of any committees, as you, Howard, Doug and Freddy are.
Jennifer, if you’re going to put Doug on the long-term side, then I think you’ll need to place Flemming there too,
Regards
