_______________________________________________Hello, all.
In reply to these questions and a few received via direct email:
Questions about the content of the Universal Code of Conduct policy itself are very legitimate, but unrelated to the current process under review with the Board. The policy was ratified by the Board last February.[1] That said, a policy must be adapted over time as it is put into practice and complications arise. The main text of the UCoC must be adaptable, and there will be a full review and update of the text one year after the close and ratification of the current phase, which is looking at enforcement pathways.[2] We fully expect refinements at that time. Figuring out how to manage some areas of policy is challenging. Doxxing is a very difficult area to form policy around, and I know the Drafting Committee from Phase 1 worked hard to reflect best practices around the movement in this area.
To clarify, Nosebagbear: Youngjin was reminding folks to get their last thoughts in for the current work the Drafting Committee is doing on revising the text. It wasn’t meant to imply that there will be no more discussion on the Guidelines before a ratification process takes place. The revisions to the draft Guidelines will be published on Meta for comment and discussion as soon as the committee feels they have incorporated the input received over the last few months. This message was just meant as a reminder to anyone who might not have been aware of the draft review.
In terms of what we’re reviewing with the Board, it is a process for ratification in response to a request from the global arbitration committees. They are not being asked to ratify the Enforcement Guidelines at this time. As to how and when ratification of the guidelines will take place, thoughts and opinions from the Drafting Committee, community members and functionaries, and the Board of Trustees will inform the details. We’ll communicate a full ratification plan after the Board meets in mid-December and considers the input received so far on what would make a fair and practical process.

the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Draft Guidelines and next step
Hello,
I would make a couple of notes here:
One is that when you say "comment period will end", that can't be of the
process.
There are numerous open questions that we have yet to see any draft policy
text on - they can't go into the final document without chance for open
review and further revision.
While I've heard bits about how they will be discussed, we've seen nothing
formal and nothing in writing.
Please let me know BEFORE the 29th how that will be handled to the
community's expectations. As the inherently most controversial bits (that's
why they were open questions!) the actual next needs MORE time to review
than the aspects already there, not less.
Yours,
Nosebagbear
