'''Activities Modules'''

== Overview ==

Activities [[Modules_and_Module_Ownership|modules]] are a part of Mozilla's [http://www.mozilla.org/hacking/module-ownership.html Module Ownership system], a basic organizing and governance principle of the Mozilla project. (The name "activities" may change. It's a bit too generic and could apply to

anything, including code modules. If you've got a good idea, please let Mitchell Baker know.)

== Governance Module ==

* owner: Mitchell Baker

* peer(s): Brendan Eich* newsgroup: mozilla.governance

* scope: project-wide

* governing policy document:

* other: in the past there has been a group of people deeply involved in these topics regularly. We may create a group for this again as we go forward; perhaps as peers, perhaps as "members", perhaps as advisors.

* final decision-makers: the final decision maker -- when needed -- for the Mozilla project in technical matters is Brendan Eich and for other matters is Mitchell Baker; this has been the case since 1998 for Brendan and 1999 for Mitchell. I haven't figured out how to capture that clearly here. That authority is broader than "policy and process." I don't know if that is a property that attaches to the owner / peer of the governance module or if it is more personal. It should be stated somewhere clearly though.

Due to the large and diverse nature of topics included in the Governance

authority for specific pieces and identify particular areas of expertise.
