Universal Code of Conduct/Annual review
This page is an overview of the annual review of potential changes to the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC), the UCoC enforcement guidelines, and the Charter of the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). Everyone is invited to comment or make suggestions on the review subpages.
Background
[edit]The three documents of the UCoC are reviewed annually for potential modifications. According to the Charter, the U4C "shall closely monitor the Foundation safety perception surveys, its own caseload trends, and feedback from community self-governance processes to identify challenges to the effective self-governance of communities to enforce the UCoC. Concerns identified shall be publicly documented on the U4C’s noticeboard, addressed as merited, or tabled during the annual UCoC & EG review." The Enforcement Guidelines (EG) state that "Based on the Board of Trustees' recommendation, one year after the ratification of the Enforcement Guidelines, the Wikimedia Foundation will host a community consultation and review of the UCoC Enforcement Guidelines and UCoC." Changes to the UCoC need to be ratified by the Board of Trustees.
