Hello, This is Amir from the CoC committee. Currently, there are two open amendment proposals that haven't had much progress in the past years and I would like to close them or at least make some progress. One of them in particular is really important.
There are two major issues with the current appeal process: * According to the CoC, the appeal body is a team in WMF that doesn't exist anymore (for years now) [1] People in this team (who all are still working for WMF) have moved to other teams and some haven't done anything with technical communities for years now. We need to find an appeal body to replace this. One suggestion is to have CRC [2] and its successor review these cases but WMF legal should give the green light on this. Any other suggestion is more than welcome. * It's not clear that the appeal body would have the authority to override the outcome of cases or they are just advisory or they are peers (they need to discuss until there's a consensus among both).
Given the confidential nature of TCoC cases, having a robust appeal body ensures a fair and just environment for technical contributions. Please take a look and participate in the discussion: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Uay0vz6no8ayac3m
Thank you very much.
