 <b>Publications</b> are another important avenue to disseminate learnings, and connect within the network. Fellows are expected to be key contributors to the Internet Health report, not only helping set its editorial direction but also contributing with content. Additionally, they may write opinion pieces and thought-leadership articles for mainstream media, helping enhance the understanding of the broader audiences of emerging tech policy challenges.
+. Overview
+Mozilla Network Fellowships present a unique opportunity for professionals who believe in the mission of a healthier Internet. This particular fellowship will bring together tech policy experts to research, publish, teach, convene stakeholders, and participate in events, with the objective of consolidating and documenting what has been learned through policy initiatives that have advanced the cause of a healthy Internet.
+. Background
+A number of tech policy professionals with experience in policy design, legislation and regulatory implementation have been at the forefront of securing the progress we have seen on issues that are critical to a healthier Internet. By creating a tech policy hub within the Mozilla Network, we will give tech policy experts a chance to collaborate, connect and accelerate their work and impact, including documenting their learning, developing future policy proposals and staying connected to each other.
+Fellows will join Mozilla Network - a gathering place for people who understand that a healthy society relies on a healthy Internet. Members collaborate with their expertise and experience — in technology, in advocacy, in education or in art — to keep the Internet healthy. The tech policy hub will leverage the infrastructure of the network to run network-aligned activities including fellowships, residencies and events.
+. Goals
+Our aim is to grow the field of people developing policy that will keep the internet healthy.  More specifically, these fellowships will help us:
+Enhance the ability of the network to anticipate, understand, and analyze policy developments.
+Establish an active and vibrant community of tech policy professionals with interest in and commitment to internet health.
+Participate in thought-leadership work and communicate around internet health issues actively.
+Position Mozilla as a partner and support of other organizations working on similar open internet issues.
+Of course, this initiative is also designed to help fellows advance more specific project and career goals that each defines for themselves. These projects should focus on the overall theme of internet health.
+. Advisory Board/Committee
+The Mozilla Network Technology Policy Fellowships will be guided by an advisory board/committee. The Advisory Board/Committee will (1) guide the focus of the fellowship program, together with the Sr. Fellow and (2) help attract further alliances, resources, partnerships and funds to the initiative.
+The Advisory Board will meet twice per annum, supplemented, if needed, by a quarterly remote discussion.
