Detailed notes
Advocacy Task force
Stacy and Jochai joined the call to hear Reps feedback on two new initiatives: Request for Policy Support & Advocacy Task Forces.
Request for Policy Support
The goal is to enable mozillians to request support for policy in their local countries. Mozillians will be able to collaborate with a Mozilla Rep to submit an issue which is reviewed and acted upon by public policy team.
Prior to rollout, they will develop training for Mozilla Reps.
Advocacy task force
These task forces will be self organized local groups focused on Educating people about open Web issues and Organizing action on regional political issues.
The members will partner with a Mozilla Rep and communicate using the Advocacy Discourse.
You can check the full presentation and send any feedback to smartin@mozilla.com and jochai@mozilla.com.
