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.

Ambox outdated.png THIS PAGE IS OUTDATED.
The page talks about Task Forces which were dissolved in Mozilla India community meetup 2016.

Policy and Advocacy Task Force was formed in India Task Force Meetup in May 2015. It was dissolved as a part of the Mozilla India Meetup 2016 community restructure.

Our work was based upon the belief in Mozilla Manifesto Principles . In pursuing our objectives, we operated 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 conformed with and advanced Mozilla manifesto principles. We also worked 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 built movements or campaigns when these were under threat.

Policy and Advocacy Task Force also closely collaborated with other teams such as Webmaker, Marketplace, Technical, Mozilla clubs etc. to spread awareness on Open web related advocacy topics.

We did these things in concert with Mozilla community members and like minded organizations.
