Great question. There was more text on this originally but we deleted it to make it crisper, but looks like we lost some of the meaning. The point is that there are lots of existing policy advocacy organizations around the world who are focused on policy advocacy and analysis 100% of the time. Thus, don't build what already exists. We don't need to recreate their work. Today, we consume alot of their work product already to figure out what's going on. There are also advocacy groups on the ground running various campaigns. So our goal is to help those groups and make sure that what we "build" in the non-code sense, provides incremental value or accelerates the existing efforts. _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
