Policy Townhall

Speakers:  Mitchell + 1-2 Mozillians

Proposed Track: Evening townhall

Summary:   
Policy  makers around the world seek to regulate the Net, in some cases to the  detriment of openness, innovation, users, and developers. The Mozilla community of developers, contributors and users, has an interest in participating in these discussions and activities to fully realize our mission and  values. 

Recent  work on Net Neutrality, SOPA and Do Not Track demonstrate that Mozilla  can be an effective voice in key technology policy discussions in the US  and abroad, but how we work together, balance coding with advocacy, and  focus on global issues of concern is still to be determined.

Over  the course of this year, we will host an open forum for the Mozilla  community to share ideas, discuss concerns, develop strategies for  collaboration and find new ways to leverage our expertise in the architecture of  the web. Starting with LATAM, we hope for this to be an engaging  discussion that highlights the potential of the community to participate  in policy decisions that impact the future of the Internet.
