The Mozilla project's governance mechanisms have not kept pace with changes within the project in terms of the breadth and scope of what we do. The [[Modules|module ownership system]] may now cover as little as 25% of the project's activities. Other mechanisms of governance, like the MoCo organization's management hierarchy, have naturally moved to fill the gap - but this leaves a transparency problem, as well as widening a divide between employees and volunteers.
