Well, the president of the Wireshark Foundation appears to be Jerry M. Kennelly:

and he is (drumroll, please...):

	http://ir.riverbed.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=198235&p=irol-govBio&ID=154071

the chairman and CEO of Riverbed Technology.

However, the person you probably want to speak with is the director of open-source projects at Riverbed, who is some guy named Gerald Combs; he's had some involvement with Wireshark. :-)

(Gerald has probably either answered you already or will do so, but I suspect the answer is that screenshots don't require special permission.  I'll let Gerald give the official answer, though.)
