Policy and Advocacy Task Force is formed in India Task Force Meetup in May 2015. Our work is based upon the belief in 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.
Policy and Advocacy Task Force will also closely collaborate with other teams such as Webmaker, Marketplace, Technical, Mozilla clubs etc. to spread awareness on Open web related advocacy topics.
Focus
- Spreading awareness on Internet related policy issues to Mozillians and general public by organizing events.
- Addressing and engaging with Govt and Institutional policies related to Internet, Open Source, Open Standards, Accessibility, Privacy etc with a clear focus on Mozilla manifesto.
- Build and run an educational program surrounding Internet-related policy issues and increase awareness.
Major Topics
- Open Source
