Could we have an answer? What is the goalpost here? Will this vote result
be respected?

Kind regards,

[Wikimedia-l] Upcoming vote on the revised Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct

[Patrick Earley]

*You can find this message translated into additional languages on
Meta-wiki.
*

Hello all,

In mid-January 2023, the Enforcement Guidelines

for
the Universal Code of Conduct

will
undergo a second community-wide ratification vote. [1][2] This follows the
March 2022 vote
,
which resulted in a majority of voters supporting the Enforcement
Guidelines. [3] During the vote, participants helped highlight important
community concerns. The Board’s Community Affairs Committee

requested
that these areas of concern be reviewed. [4]

The volunteer-led Revisions Committee

worked
hard reviewing community input and making changes. [5] They updated areas
of concern, such as training and affirmation requirements, privacy and
transparency in the process, and readability and translatability of the
document itself.

The revised Enforcement Guidelines can be viewed *here
*,
and a comparison of changes can be found *here
*.
[6][7]

*How to vote?*

Beginning *January 17, 2023*, voting will be open. *This page on Meta-wiki
*
outlines
information on how to vote using SecurePoll.

*Who can vote?*

The *eligibility requirements
*
for
this vote are the same as for the Wikimedia Board of Trustees elections.
See the voter information page for more details about voter eligibility. If
you are an eligible voter, you can use your Wikimedia account to access the
voting server.

*What happens after the vote?*

Votes will be scrutinized by an independent group of volunteers, and the
results will be published on Wikimedia-l, the Movement Strategy Forum, Diff
and on Meta-wiki. Voters will again be able to vote and share concerns they
have about the guidelines. The Board of Trustees will look at the levels of
support and concerns raised as they look at how the Enforcement Guidelines
should be ratified or developed further.

On behalf of the UCoC Project Team,

Patrick

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Mozilla's social media pledge

[Galder Gonzalez Larrañaga]

I agree that Wikipedia handles should join Mastodon. But, again, opening a 
social media channel needs a strategy. Currently, there's no strategy for the 
Twitter account, so opening an account in Mastodon without strategy would be a 
bad decision.

(Still waiting the social media team to define their monthly audience, really 
opaque statistics)

No, I'm saying it is opaque who of the 41-member comms department at WMF edits 
Diff. Standard practice even for non-profit publications is for the masthead to 
be public.

Hello The Cunctator,

I am assuming your reply was asking who can edit Diff. I don't think
posts are editable in the sense of a Wiki.  Proposing a content on Diff
is open to anyone as long as it fit in its scope. There are more
informations at:

* https://diff.wikimedia.org/about/
* https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Diff_(blog)

The blog is managed by the WMF Movement Communications team:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Movement_Communications
who will assist in polishing up your draft blog post before it is published.

cheers,
