Hello,
As follow-up to the message about the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement
Guidelines
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/IOMVS7W75ZYMABQGOQ2QH2JAURC3CHGH/>
by Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Vice Chair, Shani Evenstein
Sigalov, I am reaching out about the next steps. I want to bring your
attention to the next stage of the Universal Code of Conduct process, which
is forming a building committee for the Universal Code of Conduct
Coordinating Committee (U4C). Community members with experience and deep
interest in community health and governance are invited to nominate
themselves to be part of the U4C building committee, which needs people who
are:
-
Community members in good standing
-
Knowledgeable about movement community processes, such as, but not
limited to, policy drafting, participatory decision making, and application
of existing rules and policies on Wikimedia projects.
-
Aware and appreciative of the diversity of the movement, such as, but
not limited to, languages spoken, identity, geography, and project type
-
Committed to participate for the entire U4C Building Committee period
from mid-May - December 2023
-
Comfortable with engaging in difficult, but productive conversations
-
Confidently able to communicate in English
The Building Committee shall consist of volunteer community members,
affiliate board or staff, and Wikimedia Foundation staff.
The Universal Code of Conduct has been a process strengthened by the skills
and knowledge of the community and we look forward to what the U4C Building
Committee creates. If you are interested in joining the Building Committee,
please either sign up on the Meta-wiki page

or contact ucocproject(a)wikimedia.org by May 12, 2023. Read more about the
Building Committee on Meta-wiki.
