Hello Everyone, 

The Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines revisions committee is requesting comments regarding the Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC). This review period will be open from 8 September 2022 until 8 October 2022. 

The committee collaborated to revise these draft guidelines based on input gathered from the community discussion period from May through July, as well as the community vote that concluded in March 2022. 

The revisions are focused on the following four areas:  

1. To identify the type, purpose, and applicability of the UCoC training;

2. To simplify the language for more accessible translation and comprehension by non-experts; 

3. To explore the concept of affirmation, including its pros and cons; 

4. To review the balancing of the privacy of the accuser and the accused

The committee requests comments and suggestions about these revisions by 8 October 2022. From there, the revisions committee anticipates further revising the guidelines based on community input.

Everyone may share comments in a number of places. Facilitators welcome comments in any language on the Revisions Guideline Talk Page. Comments can also be shared on talk pages of translations, at local discussions, or during conversation hours.

There are planned live discussions about the UCoC enforcement draft guidelines; please see Meta times and details:

• Conversation hours

The facilitation team supporting this review period hopes to reach a large number of communities. If you do not see a conversation happening in your community, please organize a discussion. Facilitators can assist you in setting up the conversations.

Discussions will be summarized and presented to the drafting committee every two weeks. The summaries will be published here.

Stella
