Hello all, an important update on the UCoC Enforcement Guidelines:
The vote on the Enforcement Guidelines in January 2023 showed a majority
approval of the Enforcement Guidelines. There were 369 comments received
and a detailed summary of the comments will be published shortly. Just over
three-thousand (3097) voters voted and 76% approved of the Enforcement
Guidelines. You can view the *vote statistics on Meta-wiki
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduc…>*
.
As the support increased, this signifies to the Board that the current
version has addressed some of the issues indicated during the last review
in 2022. The Board of Trustees voted to ratify the Enforcement Guidelines.
The resolution can be found on Foundation Wiki
<https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Resolution:Approval_of_Universal_Code…>
and
you can read more about the process behind the 2023 Enforcement Guidelines
review on Diff
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/03/21/the-enforcement-guidelines-received-s…>
.
There are some next steps to take with the important recommendations
provided by the Enforcement Guidelines. More details will come soon about
timelines. Thank you for your interest and participation.
