Hello everyone,
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees has provided an update on the ratification process for the updated Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement guidelines [1]. In the next few weeks, the UCoC project team will provide more information on how to participate in the ratification process. The timeline has been updated on Meta [2] as the UCoC project team prepares for the voting process that will take place in early March.
To help to understand the process better, the Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team will be hosting Conversation Hours on the 4th of February 2022 at 15:00 UTC, and also on the 4th of March 2022 (exact time to be announced). We are urging everyone to join the conversation hours and dialogue with the UCoC project team on the voting process [3].
In the meantime, please take a look at the revised and translated Guidelines [4] that the drafting committee has been hard at work on over the last few months to improve and clarify. There is a comparison page if you would like to see the changes to the guidelines since the draft review last year [5]. You can leave your comments on the talk page as well [6].
Finally, the UCoC and MSG teams want to deeply thank the Drafting Committee for their hard work and dedication in finding equitable ways of applying the UCoC in ways that work for both our growing and more established community processes across the movement.
Thank you,
