An AI generated requirement list based on my research of 2025 candidate pages

**Description:**

Enhance the current Board Candidates Transparency Dashboard to provide more comprehensive, verifiable insights into candidates' activity, credentials, and commitments. The following features are proposed:

* Committee & Leadership Involvement

* Record committee roles (chair, co-chair, secretary, etc.)
* External leadership roles (industry boards, community leadership positions)
* Conference or event leadership participation and verification

* Fact Checking Support

* Allow OWASP staff to annotate/approve fact-checked entries
* Make it a group effort, e.g. 2-3 community members/volunteers + 1-2 OWASP staff members
* Record person/timestamp of fact check

* Candidate Promises & Accountability

* Display candidate promises or pledges
* Ensure entries are immutable once added for transparency and accountability

**Acceptance Criteria:**

* Dashboard displays all proposed metrics with clear verification sources
* Fact-check annotations are traceable to OWASP staff members
* Candidate promises are immutable once submitted
* Verification steps for certifications, funding, and leadership roles are documented

**Additional Notes:**
