Universal Code of Conduct - Enforcement draft guidelines review
The Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2 drafting committee
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Drafting_committe…>
would
like comments about the enforcement draft guidelines
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Enforcement_draft…>
for
the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC)
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct>. This review
period started on 17 August 2021.
Community and staff members collaborated to develop these draft guidelines
based on consultations, discussions, and research
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Discussions>.
These guidelines are not final but you can help move the progress forward.
Provide comments about these guidelines by 17 October 2021. The committee
will be revising the guidelines based upon community input.
Everyone may share comments in a number of places. Facilitators welcome
comments in any language on the draft review talk page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Enforcement_…>
or
by email. Comments can also be shared on talk pages of translations, at
local discussions, or during round-table discussions and conversation hours.
There are planned live discussions about the UCoC enforcement draft
guidelines:
Conversation hours
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduc…>
-
7 September @ 03:00 UTC & 14:00 UTC
Roundtable calls
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduc…>

number of communities. Having a shared understanding is important. 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

Below is a message from 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)

may subject it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and
data-handling, see the survey privacy statement <
