for the vote are available. A more detailed summary of comments submitted
during the vote will be published soon.
From here, the results and comments collected during this vote will be
submitted to the Board of Trustees for their review. The current
expectation is that the Board of Trustees review process will complete in
March 2023. We will update you when their review process is completed.
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in this
process.
This list includes the people who voted in 2022 and those voters who
provided comments so we could strengthen and clarify the Enforcement
Guidelines into the version the community supports.
I especially want to thank the Drafting Committee, who took the time to
reconvene and review community feedback from the 2022 Enforcement Guideline
vote and continue to engage with the community and feedback throughout
2022.
Finally, thank you to the people who voted and shared feedback during this
voting period. We look forward to reviewing the report of the feedback and
discussing next steps with the rest of the Board.
Shani, on behalf of the CAC.
