- determining how mozilla communicates our position

- direct action, or support of action by other aligned groups
- public campaigns or opinion pieces or educational activities, dialog with policy makers, other techniques TBD
- strengthening local community capabilities to address public policy issues

| Notes: |
Area Expert Advisors: Katharina Borchert, Andrew Bridges, Hanno Kaiser, Andrew McLaughlin, Danny Weitzner, Gene Kimmelman, and Ronaldo Lemos |
Area Expert Advisors are people with particular expertise who have agreed to assist Mozilla with their area-specific expertise. The Area Expert Advisors are different from peers. A peer is someone to whom the module owner has delegated some of her/his authority and a peer is expected to provide leadership for Mozilla within our specific context. Area Expert Advisors are advisors to Mozilla. They may become peers, but they need not.
(It's a new thing to have a group such as "MoCo Desktop IT services" as a
"peer." We're trying this based on the idea that anyone in the Desktop IT group
should be able to resolve problems and make fixes to the systems.)
