Hello Hope all is well with you.

I'm contacting you to ask if you could kindly spread this message among the members of the Wikipedia & Education User Group in the ways you think are more appropriate.

The announcement is about the draft of the enforcement guidelines of the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC). The draft will be discussed and commented on for about two months so that the drafting committee can revise it according to the suggestions coming from the movement.

Should there be any questions about the draft, the UCoC or any other subject linked to them please do not hesitate to contact me.

Many thanks and have a nice day and weekend :-)

Mervat
