Hello all,
The Code of Conduct Committee is a team of five trusted individuals (plus five auxiliary members) with diverse affiliations responsible for general enforcement of the Code of conduct for Wikimedia technical spaces. Committee members are in charge of processing complaints, discussing with the parties affected, agreeing on resolutions, and following up on their enforcement. For more on their duties and roles, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct/Committee.
This is a call for community members interested in volunteering for appointment to this committee. Volunteers serving in this role should be experienced Wikimedians or have had experience serving in a similar position before.
The current committee is doing the selection and will research and discuss candidates. Six weeks before the beginning of the next Committee term, meaning July 16, 2023, they will publish their candidate slate (a list of candidates) on-wiki. The community can provide feedback on these candidates, via private email to the group choosing the next Committee. The feedback period will be two weeks. The current Committee will then either finalize the slate, or update the candidate slate in response to concerns raised. If the candidate slate changes, there will be another two week feedback period covering the newly proposed members. After the selections are finalized, there will be a training period, after which the new Committee is appointed. The current Committee continues to serve until the feedback, selection, and training process is complete.
If you are interested
in serving
on this committee or like to nominate a candidate, please write an email to techconductcandidates AT
wikimedia.org with details
of your experience
on the projects, your thoughts
on the code of conduct and
the committee and what you hope to bring to
the role and whether you have a preference
in being auxiliary or main member
of the committee.
The committee consists
of five main members plus five auxiliary members and they will serve
for a year; all applications are appreciated and will be carefully considered.
The deadline
for applications is
the end of day on May 31 2023.
Please feel free to pass this invitation along to any users who you think may be qualified and interested.
Best,
Martin Urbanec, on behalf of the Code of Conduct Committee
