Hello everyone,
We are happy to inform you that we have submitted the Conference & Event
Grant proposal for WikiConference India 2023[1] to the Wikimedia
Foundation. I kindly request all the community members to go through the
proposal -- including the community engagement survey report, program plan,
venue and logistics, participation and scholarships, and the budget, and
provide us with your suggestions/comments on the talk page[2]. You can
endorse the proposal in the endorsements section[3], please do add a
rationale for supporting this project.
According to the timeline of the Conference and Event Grants program, the
community can review till 23 September 2022, post that we will start
integrating all the received feedback to make modifications to the
proposal. Depending on the response of community members, an IRC may be
hosted next week, especially if there are any questions/concerns that need
to be addressed.
We reopened the survey form and if you are still interested in taking part
in the survey and want to share something in mind or become a part of the
organizing team, please fill out the form so we all can work together[4].
Let us know if you have any questions.

Hello everyone,
The Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Revisions committee
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduc…>
is
requesting comments regarding the *Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines for
the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC)*
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduc…>.
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 and 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.
*Find the Revised Guidelines on Meta

Everyone may share comments in several 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.

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
