Hey everyone!
I'm passing along a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. They'd
appreciate your input, as members of the Wikimedians of Chicago User Group,
on the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) for all Wikimedia spaces.
Disclosure: I'm part of the team working on this, but I'm sending this
email in my volunteer capacity.
Any input you might have is appreciated--I know they're looking for people
with all levels of experience. The survey does ask about our affiliate's
code of conduct; we don't have one specifically for our group, since we're
small. We defer to the Friendly space policies for events and such:

If you'd like to discuss the UCoC in a different format, public community
conversations are opening up starting next week on local wikis. Here's a
preview:

I'm always open to talking about the UCoC, so let me know if you have any
questions or thoughts.

Subject: Invitation to Participate in UCoC Survey - Wikimedians of Chicago
User Group
Hello;
My name is Mervat Salman, a UCoC Facilitator, Trust and Safety team.
As you know, the WMF Board of Trustees ratified the Universal Code of
Conduct early in February. That's the beginning; the policy itself cannot
be used if the enforcement pathways are not defined. The implementation and
enforcement of the UCoC requires the continuous cooperation to define clear
definitions of enforcement pathways and processes. This needs to be done in
a way that does not contradict with the internal bylaws and codes of
conduct currently in place, but rather to support them and complement their
deficiencies, if any.
In this phase of the process, we would like to invite you to share your
ideas, thoughts and concerns about the UCoC implementation, reporting and
enforcement pathways using this survey:
*Survey (English): *UCoC: Affiliates Outreach Survey (
google.com)
