Universal Code of Conduct/Revised enforcement guidelines/Conversation hours

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
Universal Code of Conduct

The Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines revisions committee is requesting comments regarding the Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC).


This review period will be open from 8 September 2022 until 8 October 2022.


The committee collaborated to revise these draft guidelines based on input gathered from the community discussion period from May through July, as well as the community vote that concluded in March 2022.

The revisions are focused on the following four areas:

  • To identify the type, purpose, and applicability of the UCoC training;
  • To simplify the language for more accessible translation and comprehension by non-experts;
  • To explore the concept of affirmation, including its pros and cons;
  • To review the balancing of the privacy of the accuser and the accused

The committee requests comments and suggestions about these revisions by 8 October 2022. From there, the revisions committee anticipates further revising the guidelines based on community input.

Find the Revised Guidelines on Meta, and a comparison page in some languages.

Conversation Hours

[edit]

The Movement Strategy and Governance facilitation team is hosting discussions in Conversation Hour formats.

The calls usually last between 60 and 120 minutes, and will include a 5-10 minute introduction about the purpose of the call, followed by open discussions. Please sign up ahead of time to join.

Please sign up below if you wish to attend by using four tildes. The discussions will be held on Zoom. Links to the meetings will be provided on this page a few days before they occur. The calls will not be recorded. Participation via video or audio is not required; participants may engage using text chat.

The facilitation team supporting this review period hopes to reach a large number of communities. If you do not see a conversation happening in your community, please organize a discussion.
