Hi everyone,
I want to make you aware that an extra Call for Candidates
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Comm…>
for the U4C committee
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Comm…>
is open until Friday July 19th (until midnight 'anywhere on earth'). This
committee concerns itself with oversight on the highest levels for the
Universal
Code of Conduct
<https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Universal_Code_of_Conduct>;
according to their page on Meta: *"Its purpose is to serve as final
recourse in the case of systemic failures by local groups to enforce the
UCoC."*
The special election is being held because last time there were not enough
members elected to fill all the seats. In fact, the pool that did make it
was quite poor in terms of representation: as far as I can tell there was
one women elected (Civvì from it.wp) and the regional seats for North
America (USA and Canada), Latin America and Caribbean, Central and East
Europe (CEE), Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia *are all still open*,
besides 4 seats for the community at large = a total of 9 vacant seats (out
of a total of 16 available.).
One thing to keep in mind when applying is that U4C charter does not allow
for more than two members from the same community on the committee, and two
of the members elected in the previous round are already from en.wp - the
'home wiki' is self-identified when applying for candidacy though, so if
you work on multiple (language) projects, please take that into
consideration.
A second thing to be aware of is that candidates have to *receive 60% or
higher *of votes in their support (calculations based on the number of
support + oppose per candidate - neutral votes do not count).
So even if you don't feel like applying, please mark your agendas for
the *voting
period of July 27 - August 10*, to support allies, friends and the other
candidates you trust with this responsibility.
That's it! Want to know more, please have a look at the Call for Candidates
on Meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Comm…>
to check out the criteria for candidates (sadly, a limited number of page
translations is available), and
*apply to become a candidate on this page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Comm…>!

Dear fellow gender organizers,
I’m sharing this note on some Wikimedia channels where I’ve been active in
my professional role as part of the Wikimedia Foundation team, so apologies
in advance for the cross-posting.
I’ve been proud to serve the Wikimedia movement in my professional capacity
<https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:TCappelletto_(WMF)> since 2021.
This month, after almost three years, my contract with WMF will come to an
end (2021-2024). I’ll still be contributing in my volunteer capacity
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Contaminadas> (2015-), as a member of
the Wikimedia gender organizers community, and will always be willing to
chat about the gender gap and knowledge equity! You can contact me on my Meta
Talk page <https://www.linkedin.com/in/tilacappelletto/> or LinkedIn
<https://www.linkedin.com/in/tilacappelletto/>. For WMF matters, please
contact campaigns(a)wikimedia.org.
*Thanks for all we shared while I was wearing my WMF hat: you are the
inspiration and the driving force of the Wikimedia movement!* 💫✨

Dear all,
I just wanted to tell you that a user from the Catalan Wikipedia created the
only woman <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:The_only_woman>
category on Commons. It was inspired by a photography book
<https://search.worldcat.org/es/title/1372371398> of the same name.
There were just two pictures on Sunday, and now there are already 20. If
you remember any pictures you can add to this category, please do so!
Warm regards from Barcelona,
Núria
