[Wikimedia-l] Re: U4C Charter vote upcoming for January 16

Hello all, I am writing to you today with an update on the *Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (or U4C) Charter <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee>* development process. I know some of you might already be aware of it, but I’ll just summarize here briefly for anyone who may need an update about this part of the UCoC development. Earlier this year, the *Building Committee <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/U4C_Building_Committee>* for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee Charter started drafting the Charter <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Charter>. The initial version was shared for community comment a couple of months ago. After closing the community comment period, the Building Committee met again to finalize some of the details before a community ratification vote. This ratification was initially planned for late November. The Building Committee continued their conversations into December so that they could present a more comprehensive Charter for community ratification. The ratification vote is now scheduled to open next week, on January 16. We will provide more information about how to vote as it opens. Thank you for following this process, and, on behalf of the Building Committee, thanks to all Wikimedians who have provided comments and direction for this document. We look forward to seeing the results.
