Nominee: Paul Dale

Statement

I have almost a decade of experience working closely with and for the OpenSSL project, including five years as an OMC member and seven years as a committer and as an OTC member. I have spent thirty-five years working for businesses from start ups to large multinational corporations on a wide range of security applications, which has afforded me knowledge, acumen and insight into the business requirements and priorities of the project and its community. I understand the nature of the funding model and I am a primary developer responsible for several of its key components.

Given my background, I'm confident that I can facilitate nuanced input that represents the consensus of the committer community to inform the decisions and direction of the project via a BAC role.
