*TLDR:* The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct needs a mechanism to ensure it's being maintained in various communities. A committee has created a proposal for enforcement guidelines, and is looking for feedback. This can be done on the draft review talk page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Enforcement_draft_guidelines_review, but there are also live events to share your thoughts:

I'm sharing the following update from the Wikimedia Foundation. Any questions feel free to let me know! :

The Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2 drafting committee https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Drafting_committee#Phase_2 would like comments about the enforcement draft guidelines https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Enforcement_draft_guidelines_review for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct. This review period started on the 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_draft_guidelines_review 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:
