What's Mozilla's | ===What's Mozilla's role in public policy?=== | ||
Mozilla believes the Web should be open and available to everyone, and this openness is essential to a healthy cyber economy. We focus on advancing key characteristics of the open Web, not specific functions like social media or videos, which will always be in flux. | Mozilla believes the Web should be open and available to everyone, and this openness is essential to a healthy cyber economy.

In terms of regulating the Web, the primary challenge for any legislative process is anticipating unintended consequences, given the complexities inherent in the Web, its architecture, the relationships between its many stakeholders and the pace of innovation. | In terms of regulating the Web, the primary challenge for any legislative process is anticipating unintended consequences, given the complexities inherent in the Web, its architecture, the relationships between its many stakeholders and the pace of innovation. | ||
The Mozilla Public Policy Module works with our community of users and developers to provide products and services that make the Web more robust, and take action when the Web’s DNA is threatened. We want to empower anyone to become a steward of the healthy Web and ensure its open characteristics remain intact for the next 2.5 billion people. | ''The Mozilla Public Policy Module works with our community of users and developers to provide products and services that make the Web more robust, and take action when the Web’s DNA is threatened.''

===So what do we do?=== | |||
We engage in public affairs matters when Mozilla can make a difference by both advancing and defending the web | |||
* without compromising core code efforts | |||
* when we can add differential value | |||
* directly or indirectly | |||
===How do we do it?== | |||
We'll use a variety of techniques, tools and assets depending on the situation and what's at stake to express our voice when and where it matters. The action steps include: | |||
* educate and inform | |||
* organize and convene | |||
* enable and support | |||
* advocate and engage | |||
We will do these things in concert with Mozilla community members and like minded organizations spread across the globe. | |||
