Dear Wikimedians of Malaysia,
The Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Revisions committee
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Drafting_committee#Revisions_Committee>
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_Conduct/Revised_enforcement_guidelines>.
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, as
well as 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. You can find the Revised
Guidelines on Meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Revised_enforcement_guidelines>,
and a comparison page in some languages.

Everyone may share comments in a number of places. Facilitators welcome
comments in any language on the Revised Enforcement Guidelines talk page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Revised_enforcement_guidelines>.
Comments can also be shared on talk pages of translations, at local
discussions, or during conversation hours.
There are a series of *conversation hours*
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Revised_enforcement_guidelines/Conversation_hours>
planned about the Revised Enforcement Guidelines. We will host an
Asia-Pacific time zone-friendly conversation hour on *Friday, 16 September,
10:00 UTC*. Live interpretation in *Chinese* and *Japanese* will be
provided.
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

On behalf of the UCoC Project Team,
