Hello Xavier,

Thank you for your email, and sharing your observations and concerns. Many other movement initiatives face similar challenges. Equitable participation and engagement are something we are working to improve with each and every interaction. The UCoC project team has poured a sizable amount of discussion, planning and energy into outreach to the movement throughout the process. The goal was to encourage participation from as many communities as possible.

The ways the UCoC team encouraged participation can be seen through the results of this work. The Revised Enforcement Guidelines are currently translated into over 40 languages; voter information, banners, and emails were also heavily translated. The project team hosted outreach and conversation hours throughout the drafting process. We have made it a point to invite and engage with many communities, particularly small and medium-sized, and it is our goal to continue to ensure that the growing communities and small language wikis are invited to engage with us. It is our hope that as we progress, the UCoC and the Enforcement Guidelines will create a better environment that will see more interaction from all communities.

As we embark on the next steps and stages of this ongoing project, we will increase engagement, conversations, and interaction with the growing communities and small language wikis in as many languages, places, and contexts as possible. The UCoC is an iterative process, and we will be inviting opinions of how to make it more inclusive as we continue onwards.

Kind regards,

Stella Ng

Hi/Bona vesprada,

Without meaning at all that I do not respect the results of this voting, I would like to call the attention to the fact that out of 3097 votes, practically 2000 are circumscribed to only 4 big home wikis: en.wiki (1000), de.wiki (500), fr.wiki (200) and es.wiki (150).

Imho it is somehow concerning that 2/3 of the votes of such a key policy are heavily relying on the weight of those major projects. I understand the constraints in participation, but it isn't either a trivial value -considering how much do we read about the WMF efforts to promote the so-called “Global South” communities and the minority language wikis.

There is a great essay on English Wikipedia, "Wikipedia:Silence does not imply consent when drafting new policies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Silence_does_not_imply_consent_when_drafting_new_policies", that has a very thoughtful background and that I like very much to remind: *"Silence implies consensus" is an old standby on Wikipedia. However, with regard to new policies and guidelines, this cannot apply, and silence should instead imply either indifference or a lack of proper exposure. If a proposal produces indifference in the community, it is not necessary. If a proposal has not been adequately exposed to the community, there is no just cause for implementing it as policy.*

Kind regards/Salutacions,

Hello Everyone,

*Today the results of the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines vote were tallied*. We are pleased to report the results show that the Enforcement Guidelines are strongly supported by the community, with *76% of participants voting in support *of the Enforcement Guidelines.

A report with a summary and analysis of comments submitted in the voting process is being prepared by the staff members supporting the Universal Code of Conduct work and will be available soon.

Below is a message created by the staff members supporting the Universal Code of Conduct work, which has translations available on Meta-wiki https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Revised_enforcement_guidelines/Vote_results_announcement .

The recent community-wide vote on the Universal Code of Conduct revised Enforcement Guidelines https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Revised_enforcement_guidelines has been tallied and scrutinized. Thank you to everyone who participated.

After 3097 voters from 146 Wikimedia communities voted, the results are 76% in support of the Enforcement Guidelines, and 24% in opposition. Statistics https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Revised_enforcement_guidelines/Voting_statistics 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.

I find it a bit disappointing that the count of numbers is being celebrated here, and these numbers were released without consideration to any concerns being raised. On projects its the value of the argument not the number of votes that matter.

FWIW - I recommended against the enforcement guidelines,

1. potential for abuse by those that can write better, especially when it comes to people where the language isn't their first language. 2. the heavy judgemental process, lack of suitable support to the accused during and after the outcome. I doubt this quasi-legal process is a sufficiently robust process and that it never could be. Scenario: a person living in a country without LGTBI+ protections being attacked through this process by a cultural clique which ends in self harm or public identification and legal harm in their home. 3. that enforcement isnt just blocking access to a website, its impact will be far greater and have life & legal consequences beyond the movement. 4. it opens the door to bad faith government actors especially in smaller languages where controlling the narrative is paramount and well funded.

I do accept the UCoC as being a good policy, but the enforcement process is leaping over the line of uncontrollable consequences and ultimately having a chilling effect on positive neutral participation. We cant refectify any errors this process makes even if those errors were made in good faith at the time. Nor do we have the community resources to revisit and reassess every action that was later found to have involved a person acting in bad faith.

Just noting in passing that the SecurePoll default for "home wiki" is the project on which an account made its first edit. A large number of editors who would consider their "home wiki" a different project (or even a different language entirely) made their first edit on English Wikipedia; the same is true of several of the other "large" Wikipedias. The extended statistical information tells us that more than half of all voters met voting requirements on two or more projects.

It's also noteworthy that the majority of Wikimedia projects have a very small group of contributors who would meet the voting requirements.Most editors who work on our smaller projects made their earliest contributions on a larger project, and that larger project is going to be considered their "home" wiki. SecurePoll treats an account's edits wholistically, rather than project-by-project, and it does not record the location (wiki/project) from which an account has voted. It should be noted that there isn't a lot of data provided with relation to our smaller projects in the statistical analysis. This is appropriate as it could impact user privacy.

As an aside, I am part of the Movement Charter Drafting Committee team looking at using SecurePoll for some aspects of ratification of the Charter. We are already discussing with the team that is responsible for SecurePoll about some of these issues, such as users being able to select their "home wiki", results per project, expanding the available translations, and ways to maintain privacy for contributors to smaller projects. We're also watching closely for relevant comments specific to the use of SecurePoll in this and other elections, and what improvements Wikimedians (especially those from smaller projects) suggest for SecurePoll. Thanks, Xavier, for raising the issue.

From the empirical, anecdotal evidence I have, low turnout (could be worst, but still not great) at my homewiki, the Wikipedia in Portuguese, was mostly due to lack of interest, part of it eventually caused by the belief that the way it was designed, the impact on the UCOC on the wiki would be negligible. This time thankfully we had someone hired by WMF to communicate in Portuguese about it, so lack of knowledge of what was going on was probably not a factor. I left the voting for the last day, and voted for it hoping that at worst it would be harmless, and at best it would reinforce the positive parts of the system we already have in place to deal with abuse... Though I'm still unsure about it, and maybe should not have voted at all. One thing that kind of surprised me was the approval not being the landslide I was expecting, since in most meetings and communications I've been or seen it was presented as something so obviously very good and positive that had to be approved for the common good of everyone... Anyway, waiting to see how it fares.

Best, Paulo

I agree that these are valid concerns, as is the point that we should consider how the 'homewiki' (or whatever demographic you choose to follow) distribution across those votes impacts the outcome. I think there will be general agreement that more participation would be great (although I feel that I have to admit, that this time around I didn't vote myself: just didn't get to reading the proposals carefully enough this time.)

There are a few things I do wonder about, which are not clear from the conversation/statistics: - is the approval rating significantly different among voters from smaller projects than in larger projects? I don't know if the voting infrastructure even allows for such a breakdown. - are within projects, certain types of users over represented? For example, I would love some breakdown along tenure (how long have editors been around), rights holders (admin, arbcom, etc) and how those compare to the populations in their respective communities.

A turnout this size is maybe not a high percentage of eligible voters, but note that we intentionally set our eligibility criteria low. A low percentage is then only a natural outcome. I do wonder: what kind of percentage would make colleagues more confident? And how could we realistically achieve those percentages?

I'm a bit disappointed that we're discussing the results of a vote after it was taken, these things have to be voiced and discussed before the voting begins, not after a result you may disagree with has been tallied.

Unfortunately this kind of breakdown data isn't possible with SecurePoll - that's by design, since the system anonymises votes as they're placed. So there would be no way to know who exactly a "yes" or a "no" came from in the data, and thus no way to get more granular data (at least as things are set up right now).

smaller projects than in larger projects? I don't know if the voting infrastructure even allows for such a breakdown.

• are within projects, certain types of users over represented? For

example, I would love some breakdown along tenure (how long have editors been around), rights holders (admin, arbcom, etc) and how those compare to the populations in their respective communities.

A turnout this size is maybe not a high percentage of eligible voters, but note that we intentionally set our eligibility criteria low. A low percentage is then only a natural outcome. I do wonder: what kind of percentage would make colleagues more confident? And how could we realistically achieve those percentages?

Best, Lodewijk

Unfortunately you cant talk about the outcome of a result prior to it

taking place.

Which of your arguments here depend on the result to be made?

Moving goalposts after a vote has been taken seems very problematic, and may be at the heart of many of the issues we have with participation in these kinds of discussions.

I'm a bit disappointed that we're discussing the results of a vote after it was taken, these things have to be voiced and discussed before the voting begins, not after a result you may disagree with has been tallied.

Unfortunately this kind of breakdown data isn't possible with SecurePoll

• that's by design, since the system anonymises votes as they're placed. So

there would be no way to know who exactly a "yes" or a "no" came from in the data, and thus no way to get more granular data (at least as things are set up right now).

I agree that these are valid concerns, as is the point that we should consider how the 'homewiki' (or whatever demographic you choose to follow) distribution across those votes impacts the outcome. I think there will be general agreement that more participation would be great (although I feel that I have to admit, that this time around I didn't vote myself: just didn't get to reading the proposals carefully enough this time.)
