Hi all
The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) is aiming to create a Universal Code of Conduct, which will harmonise existing behavioural policies and guidelines across all Wikimedia projects and languages into one Code of Conduct for all staff and volunteers. Wikimedia UK has created a survey - based on the Art+Feminism community survey - to gather feedback from Wikimedia’s contributors in the UK, which we will share (anonymously) with the Foundation and which will inform our own chapter response to the proposals. There will be further opportunities to provide feedback following the initial drafting stage, at which point there will be a community consultation on the wording of the Code (likely to be from the last week of August).
Background reading/viewing includes the following:

Hi all
With apologies for the confusion, it turns out that the Wikimedia Foundation has created an affiliates survey about the code of conduct as well, which they sent to me today:

Please feel free to complete either, both or neither survey!
All best Lucy
