Yes, there are people like this. Why is this a problem? Because they take up reps role and do things antithetical to the mozilla mission. They are not inclusive. They are not transparent. They promote things that are against the open web. They use mozilla funded events to spread things that are against mozillaâs mission. They do not try to grow the community. They do not let the communities grow. They gatekeep. These are all the results that Iâm seeing.
Thatâs clearly against a lot of our rules and agreements. If you see something, please say something, there are channels to report abusive behaviors (Community Participation Guidelines) or breaking agreements (by providing information to Council). We have been acting on these reports in the past and we will keep doing so in the future.

What legal requirement is that? I need reference here. Is it US law? Is it from mozillaâs legal team?
Can I, as a community member, request access to all such budget bugs?
As Irvin commented, people personal and private information (bank accounts, home address). Also the total amount of Reps program budget is not public, but percentages on areas where we have been investing are reported every year. This is not something we will change, we want to ensure peopleâs privacy and also comply with Mozilla Corporation legal requirements.
Bugzilla is only used for budget, swag and applications. Any other Reps activities are documented in the open in the Reps portal activities and also through other channels like this discourse or social media.

How is this affecting communities? I canât give you an example of budget bug. But I can give you an example of swags bug. Event organizers in colleges have been promised swags by reps who then had their swag request bug rejected. Event organizers have been kept in the dark. Nobody knew anything about anything. In the end event has happened without swag. If only the bug was open everyone would have known that the swags wonât be coming.
This feel a problem of accountability with a specific Rep, any mozillian can reach out to signal if these issues are happening. Reps shouldnât be promising anything that has not been previously approved.
asdofindia:
The problem with this channel is that it doesnât invite feedback from everyone.
This discourse is open to anyone. Can you please elaborate the specific limitations to participate?
Thanks!
