'''Policy and Advocacy''' Task Force is formed in India Task Force Meetup in May 2015. Our work is based upon the belief in [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/ Mozilla Manifesto] Principles . In pursuing our objectives, we operate 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 conform and advance Mozilla manifesto principles. We also work 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 build movements or campaigns when these are under threat.
