Reps/Structure Governance

The Mozilla Reps governance is broken down into 3 governing bodies, each with specific duties and functions.

Council

Comprised of 7 Mozilla Reps and 2 Mozilla paid-staff, the Mozilla Reps "Jedi" council has the following duties and functions:

• help provide governance and support structure to assist Mozilla Reps worldwide
• help oversee global activities
• help oversee global budget management for events, swag
• help nominate global membership administrator
• help resolve disputes
• help provide guidance and inspiration for Mozilla Reps

NB: in a first initial phase, a provisional council has been set up to help kickstart things. For more info click here.

Regional Coordinators (introduced in phase 2)

• help coordinate regional activities
• help coordinate and manage memberships with global membership administrator
• help coordinate and manage mentorship programs
• help coordinate swag requests and oversee regional inventory
• provide regional budget oversight

Mozilla Reps

• Organize or participate in Mozilla community events
• Represent Mozilla at conferences and speak on Mozilla’s behalf
• Manage local PR relations
• Mentorship --> lead local training workshops
• Communicate, blog and document all activities
• Liaise regularly with Mozilla project teams

NB: in the initial phase of the Mozilla Reps program (Phase 1), members of the provisional council are designated by the ReMo project leads (William and Pierros) based on a specific different criteria, notably on geographic location and on the member's level of participation in early brainstorms of the program. When Mozilla Reps reach mature stage later this year, an election/designation or rotation system will be introduced in order to enable Mozilla Reps to elect members of the council, based on 6-month terms (or short/longer terms - this needs to be determined moving forward).
