dissolve task force
{{MozillaIndia}}
'''Policy and Advocacy''' Task Force was formed in India Task Force Meetup in May 2015. It was dissolved as a part of the Mozilla India Meetup 2016 community restructure. Our work was based upon the belief in [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/ Mozilla Manifesto] Principles . In pursuing our objectives, we operated collaboratively and inclusively, working with governments, national and international organizations, civil society, the private sector, netizens and other parties to reach decisions about the Internet that conformed with and advanced Mozilla manifesto principles. We also worked with netizens and Mozillians to educate them on the impact of various policy related developments on Internet, interoperability, and free and open source software, and collectively built movements or campaigns when these were under threat. Policy and Advocacy Task Force will also closely collaborate collaborated with other teams such as Webmaker, Marketplace, Technical, Mozilla clubs etc. to spread awareness on Open web related advocacy topics.
