Hi all

I just wanted to make sure that you are all aware that the draft Wikimedia Universal Code of Conduct is currently open for community review, here:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Draft_review

I attended an affiliates meeting last night and several members of the UCoC drafting committee were there, and gave an update on the process. It's clear that much of the feedback so far has come from the English Wikipedia community, but the code needs to apply across all communities. I would therefore encourage anyone who edits as part of a different Wikimedia project or language Wikipedia to think about reviewing the draft text through this lens and providing some feedback. 

It also seems clear from the discussion that a new Universal Code of Conduct is definitely going to be introduced, so it's a question of what it will contain rather than whether or not there will be one.

Best wishes
Lucy
