TL;DR

Here is a quick summary of the currently proposed organizational structure for the Mozilla India community. If you are interested in the full proposal, skip to the next chapter.

Proposal summary

Have open, transparent, accountable teams where individual contributors can work together with the highest amount of flexibility. Adopt a participatory process that does not add excess process overhead. Everyone is urged to take up the things they like and work together with others, and in the process, improve the structure itself.

Overall team composition consists of "Functional Teams" (with long term focus) and "Focus Teams" (possibly cross-functional, with short term focus on particular events/use cases). These teams are formed around functional contribution areas, with a degree of alignment with Mozilla's key concerns.

The "Meta Team" glues things together and ensures smooth function and cross-team collaboration. The teams are supported by various infrastructure and communication channels.

Each team will have two "facilitators" who will act as the communication interface of the team with the outside world. They will take up accountability on behalf of their teams.

There are also "Geographic Groups" that consist of Mozillians in particular regions and help in discovering and connecting Mozillians by location.

Ownership is on everyone for the roles they take up. Leadership builds as a result of achieving expertise through constant practice and grows organically.

Self-evaluation, backed by data, is done at every point to understand effectiveness and impact of the community and its initiatives.

This is a constantly evolving, fluid and flexible structure. Nothing is set in stone.
