== 1. Vision ==
The internet has become our global commons: a critical public resource that more than a billion people use to learn, innovate, trade, befriend and play. '''We envision a century ahead where this shared resource grows even richer and more vibrant.''' For this to happen, we must continue to build and operate an internet that is:
*'''Open'''. Built on technologies that anyone can study, use or improve without asking permission.
== 3. Goals ==
In a nutshell: '''explain what we mean by 'a better internet' and support new ideas that show what it looks like in action.''' If Mozilla Drumbeat succeeds, '''the idea that the internet is a public resource will be mainstream.''' More and more people will make choices about technology and online life that sustain -- or even improve -- this resource. With this aim in mind, the Drumbeat community should focus on three goals:
*'''Awareness:''' Widespread public understanding that the internet is a public resource.
== 4. Strategy ==
In a nutshell: '''gather people committed to this vision, help them develop their ideas and tell the 'better internet' story. Over time, build a large scale movement around this.'''
The Drumbeat strategy mixes online and on the ground activities. Web campaigns. Local gatherings. A yearly event for thoughts leaders. The aim is to get people everywhere thinking and doing around the idea of the internet as a public resource.
