I agree with Cieli. I have had the privilege to speak to people offline to get their view on the proposed UCoc. This includes people on this list who are not native speakers of the English language and not willing to openly engage in a discussion about it. Many of them are interested in seeing the

Yaroslav did, and again the Framwiki case was mentioned. And while I do realise this bruised and scarred the relationship between the English community and the WMF, please realise the UCoC could benefit a lot of other communities. Those who are not vocal on this list, and are just the silent

It is known and widely recognized that online communities were excluded from the strategy process. There was no way one could open RfC on the process, and no approval of the strategy by the editing communities. This has to be fixed now. It is difficult to fix, because there are already too many

If you choose to not take active part in he strategy process it it your privilege.  But the fact is that the Strategy is the steering document now for the nearest activities in the Movement. And the endorsments are there to be read. If you had wanted the endorsement to be visible in the form

Hi Peter, I hear and understand your worries. I’d like to reassure you that we are very aware of the fact that no single person and no selected group of people can speak for the community as a whole. This is one of the big challenges all such efforts have to tackle. Representation here is not

The development of the Code of Conduct is part of the Strategy. The strategy and this part was endorsed by some 700 individuals representing more or less all parts of the Movement. And that group is the closest we have seen resembling a government body of the movement. But as in a democracy,
