[Advocacy Advisors] Mozilla Advocacy in Brussels

Tue Apr 21 13:21:35 UTC 2015

Hello, everybody!

Me and Karl just had a meeting with Mozilla's Jochai (San Francisco based)
and Gervase (UK based and on this list). Mozilla will very quickly get
active in Brussels hiring a full-time representative.

Their policy goals will be published soon and are centred around "not
breaking the internet" and copyright, with a focus on goals such as having
an "open norm" (i.e. fair use), an audiovisual citation exception and
fighting against linking liability.

We're also likely to experience similar organisational challenges, as
they're also looking into a way to ensure a coherent message and strategy
and involve their volunteer community.

I personally am excited that we'll have another advocate for free&open
things on the ground here.

Cheers,
Dimi
