Hi - wanted to follow-up on the conversation around concerns with our involvement with FIFA and the World Cup in Brazil.
Just want to make sure the intentions of the teams who worked on this campaign are clear. We are aware of the allegations against FIFA and in no way do we sanction their actions, nor of any government or commercial entity involved in the organization of the World Cup in Brazil (or the following editions in Russia and Qatar). What we do support are the positive values associated with football as an inclusive sport that requires team work, levels the playing field and provides opportunity for people to pursue their passions. My internal note didn't mean to suggest that Mozilla values and those of football are the same, but was merely an invitation to explore the connections between our mission and other areas of every day life a lot of people may be more familiar with. We think this is a great way to get people to know about who we are and what we stand for. And the Goal.com sidebar is a great way to enable football enthusiasts everywhere to follow their favorite teams. That said, this conversation has definitely reinforced the importance of tapping into our global community more as we evaluate promotional opportunities. Our engagement team is in the process of creating new contribution pathways, and this highlights a great area to develop. _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
