No. The community I am referring to is all WMF project participants who
might be interested in presenting their opinion on the subject, regardless
of whether or not they currently participate in any given specific area.
That is always the case.

"The community", when we're talking about something that will affect
everyone, means, well, everyone who cares to participate in the
discussion.
The final version should be advertised as widely
as possible, and the
community (not a subset of it) should decide if it's acceptable.
Again this hasn't defined what the community is. The opening statement
of
the draft says
This is a *code of conduct for Wikimedia technical spaces*. It applies both
within physical spaces, such as Wikimedia
technical events and Wikimedia
technical presentations in other events, and virtual spaces
(
MediaWiki.org,

Phabricator
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Phabricator>, Gerrit

, technical IRC channels
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC/Channels#MediaWiki_and_technical>,
and Etherpad <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Etherpad
).
Is this the community you are referring to?
The fact that some people have participated on
specific parts does not
negate the need for ratification of the full and final version. Work on
individual sections hammers out what you're going to present to the
community. It does not bypass the need to actually do that.

It's not particularly clear hear, which community? The developers of
mediawiki-core? extension developers? people who attend hackathons and
such? It seems all of these groups have been bombarded with calls to
participate in the process over the last year and have had plenty of
opportunity to be heard. That only a small group of WMF staff have
decided
