Hi Matt,
Thanks for working on this. Has the WMF Board approved this procedure for
ratifying the Code of Conduct, or is the Board planning to approve the
final document? It sounds to me like this is effectively a Terms of Use
amendment, so I would expect that it would need a similar level of legal
review and Board approval. Also, because this policy appears also to apply
to WMF staff, I hope that HR and/or Katherine are in the loop on this.

We’ve gotten good participation as we’ve worked on
sections of the Code of
Conduct over the past few months, and have made considerable improvements
to the draft based on your feedback.
Given that, and the community approval through the discussions on each
section, the best approach is to proceed by approving section-by-section
until the last section is done.
So, please continue to improve the Code of Conduct by participating now
and as future sections are discussed. When the last section is completed
and approved on the talk page, the Code of Conduct will become policy and
no longer be marked as a draft.
Also, two more discussions regarding the Code of Conduct have been
resolved and incorporated into the draft.
* "Enforcement issues" addressed the reporting process and clarified that
Committee decisions could not be circumvented
* "Marginalized and underrepresented groups" forbids discrimination
Thanks,
Matt Flaschen
