[Wikimedia-l] Comment time for IEG Grants proposal
For our second round of Individual Engagement Grant applications in 2014, we have a great crop of ideas. Wikimedians have dropped by to offer feedback, support, or expertise to some of the proposals, but many proposals have not been reviewed by community members. If there is an open proposal that interests you, that you have concerns about, or that involves an area where you have experience or expertise, please drop by the proposal page to share your views. This will help the proposers better hone their strategies, and will assist the IEG Committee in evaluating some of these fresh new ideas to improve Wikimedia projects. Working with an IEG proposal may even inspire you to serve as a project advisor, or to propose one of your own for the next cycle! Comments are requested until October 20th.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Foundation quarterly reviews for April-June 2015
Craig, You are right that the harassment issue needs more than gestures or unenforceable guidelines, and Community Engagement is working with community members on new ideas and approaches. The Friendly Spaces expectations are a beginning, not an end point; they are a first step to get the community talking about ways to change the status quo. They offer some structure to build around in developing new social norms/expectations. But I agree that this must be part of a larger effort and conversation to have any real positive effect. On Mon, Jul 20, 2015 at 4:14 AM, Craig Franklin cfrank...@halonetwork.net wrote: Indeed, as Kirill says, the grants process is owned by the WMF (albeit one hosted on Meta), not by the community, so I'm not sure why the Meta community needs to get involved. It actually seems to me that the foundation wiki would be a better home for processes like this so that community bureaucracy can be avoided, but since the events of a couple of years ago that seems like it's not a plausible option in the short term. I do have to say I'm a bit disappointed that a lot of the negative feedback that certain aspects of the friendly space policy got from the GAC seem to have been handwaved away; with its feeble provisions for enforcement, it seems like the sort of policy you have when you want to look like you're doing something about a problem, without actually taking responsibility, or addressing the difficult root causes that caused the issue in the first place. If saying no to harassment in WMF processes isn't worth upturning a few apple carts over, then what is? I do hope that the Community department will have a change of heart and take a much harder line against offwiki harassment, starting from here. On a completely different note, I do hope that the legal team will share their protocol for appearance (or threat of it) at events by banned users. I've been given softly-softly unofficial advice before on the expectations if globally banned users show up at a community event, but it would be good if this could be made available for everyone that wants to hold an event where there is a chance that banned or otherwise problematic individuals might show up, so as to ensure a consistent approach.

Will the friendly-space expectations (policy?) for grants spaces on Meta be proposed as an RfC on Meta? The documentation on the rollout plan doesn't mention and RfC. My understanding is that the right way to implement a policy change like this on Meta is for it to go through an open and transparent RfC process, and that the implementation decision is ultimately the community's to make. The experience would inform further discussions about (1) a project-wide friendly space policy on Meta, and (2) a wider consultation on a friendly space amendment to the ToS that the WMF Board may eventually ratify. I don't see any reason why an RFC would be required (or appropriate) here. The grantmaking process is a WMF function, and the associated pages on meta are managed by the WMF grantmaking team; they are free to impose requirements (such as compliance with a friendly space standard) on anyone participating in that process (whether as an applicant or as a commenter or reviewer).

[Wikimedia-l] Harassment consultation on Meta
Hello all, Community Advocacy at the WMF is running a month-long discussion on the topic of harassment on our projects. This will be the first in a series - as it is the initial discussion, we are keeping it open and broad to encourage brainstorming and creativity. It is currently live on Meta, and will be open until at least Dec. 16: - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Harassment_consultation_2015 We encourage all to participate, share ideas, and provide feedback on the ideas of others. Online harassment is a complex, pervasive issue, and we can't make progress without exploring the best ways forward.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Advertising in Central notice?
Hi Itzik, We placed that note as it is standard practice to let users know when a link will be taking them outside the Wikimedia projects. We linked to the Qualtrics privacy statement, as we felt that users should have access to that if they wanted to read it. Petefosyth has made some changes to it, based on this discussion [1]. It now reads "Survey data handled by a third party".

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Harassment consultation on Meta
Thanks Lodewijk. We didn't mean "ideas" to limit contributions to full proposals or solutions. It could just be "Random thoughts from Lodewijk" - it's meant to be very open. You can also start a conversation about another idea by clicking on it to find its discussion, or take part in an ongoing one. I'll talk to my team to see if we can improve the language to make it clear all levels of participation are welcome.

[Wikimedia-l] Ombudsman Committee - Call for Applications
Hello all, As the end of the year approaches, the Ombudsman Committee seeks new members. This commission works on all Wikimedia projects to investigate complaints about violations of the privacy policy, especially in use of CheckUser tools [1], and to mediate between the complaining party and the individual whose work is being investigated. They may also assist the General Counsel, the Executive Director or the Board of Trustees in investigations of these issues. For more on their duties and roles, see: <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ombudsman_commission> <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ombudsman_commission> - http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ombudsman_commission This is a call for community members interested in volunteering for this commission. Commissioners should be experienced Wikimedians, active on any project, who have previously used the CheckUser tool OR who have the technical ability to understand the CheckUser tool and the willingness to learn it. They are expected to be able to engage neutrally in investigating these concerns and to know when to recuse when other roles and relationships may cause conflict. It is important that volunteers for this role commit to being active in their work on this commission, including participating in email discussions and, ideally, occasional virtual meetings. Commissioners are required to identify to the Wikimedia Foundation and must be willing to comply with the appropriate board policies (such as the access to non-public data policy [2] and the privacy policy [3]). This is a position that requires a high degree of discretion and trust. If you are interested in serving on this commission, please drop me a note at pearley@wikimedia detailing your experience on the projects, your thoughts on the commission and what you hope to bring to the role. The commission is deliberately quite small, so slots are limited, but all applications are appreciated. The deadline for applications is January 1. Any timezone. :) Please feel free to pass this invitation along to any users who you think may be interested.

[Wikimedia-l] 2015 Harassment Survey - Results Report
Hello all, The preliminary report of the results of the 2015 Harassment survey is now available on Commons, as linked from Meta.[1] This is the first version of our analysis of the results, and while it is nearly completed, it will be amended and updated within a week as we finish developing it. The data set is large, involving sixteen languages with several free text questions, and it has also been linked from the Meta page. This information is an important factor in gaining a better understanding of both the forms harassment takes and the impact it has on the Wikimedia projects. We welcome your feedback and impressions on the Research talk page on Meta.[2] We want to thank the many Wikimedia volunteers, academics, and Wikimedia Foundation staff who helped prepare and translate the survey, and who gave feedback on the report.

James, it is difficult to assess the effectiveness of any of these approaches until they have been trialed in some form. But as we work on specific components, we will be researching both current trends and numbers, and figuring out how to measure the effectiveness of future work.

[Wikimedia-l] A Universal Code of Conduct draft for review
Hello, everyone. We are excited to share a draft of the Universal Code of Conduct <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct>, which the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees called for earlier this year <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard/May_2020_-_Board_of_Trustees_on_Healthy_Community_Culture,_Inclusivity,_and_Safe_Spaces>, for your review and feedback. The discussion will be open until October 6, 2020. The UCoC Drafting Committee <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Drafting_committee>wants to learn which parts of the draft would present challenges for you or your work. What is missing from this draft? What do you like, and what could be improved? Many thanks to the Committee, and everyone who has helped with translations so far. Please join the conversation <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Draft_review> and share this email with others who may be interested to join, too. To learn more about the UCoC project, see the Universal Code of Conduct page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct>, and the FAQ <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/FAQ>, on Meta.

[Wikimedia-l] Universal Code of Conduct Drafting Committee - Call for participation
Hello all, A few important updates on the Universal Code of Conduct project.[1] Given some of the concerns raised recently about the pace and timing of important discussions and decisions, we feel it’s important to recognize the strain that current events have placed on all of us. After hearing concerns from community members that the UCoC timeline is too condensed, we have decided with Board support to extend the drafting period and final review of the draft UCoC until the end of September. We appreciate the honest feedback on your needs, and want to make sure this process allows as many people as possible to contribute their thoughts, concerns, and expertise. An updated timeline for the project is available on Meta. [2] Today, we are beginning the process of forming a Drafting Committee for the Universal Code of Conduct. If you are interested, please read the following important information for candidates: - Who will be on the committee? - five or six volunteers, at least one representative from a Movement affiliate, and four or five Foundation staff members (depending on how many candidates apply) - When will the committee be active? - July 22 - September 30 - What will they do? Read background material and draft a Universal Code of Conduct that will provide a minimum baseline guiding the behaviour of every contributor to the Wikimedia movement. - How will they work? The committee will meet online and work on shared documents, starting from the Contributor’s Covenant [3] as a starting text. A facilitation team will help them to organize the work, and experts in different areas will be available to provide support. - How much time should I plan to spend per week? There will be online meetings (2-4 hours per week), as well as background reading in the early phase resulting in up to 6 hours each week. - What skills should I bring to the process? Ideally you would have experience in policy drafting, experience in cooperating online and in writing in English. We would also love our candidates to have empathy; for example, experience mentoring, resolving difficult disputes, and communicating with compassion are valuable. More information is available on the Meta page. [4] - How will the committee members be selected? The Trust and Safety Team [5] together with the Legal Team [6] of the Wikimedia Foundation will vet all candidates. Then, the Vice president of Community Resilience and Sustainability, Maggie Dennis [7], will choose committee members based on the level of skills and experience of candidates in combination with diversity factors. Ideally we will be able to form a competent committee that reflects the diversity of the movement not only in the usual demographic areas like language, geographic location, gender, age, but also in wiki specific areas like the project size of their home wiki and roles in the Wikimedia movement. If you are interested in applying, please let us know before July 15 by signing up on the Meta page [8] or mail to Christel Steigenberger. [9] Please include information about the roles you hold or have held in Wikimedia or similar organizations, your username, your userpage of your home wiki and relevant links demonstrating your experience. Feel free to add any additional information that will help us make an informed choice. Please forward this message to any volunteers you think might be interested, and encourage them to apply and help us spread the word.

[Wikimedia-l] Re: [Marketing Mail] Re: Closing the comment period for the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Draft Guidelines and next step
Hello, all. In reply to these questions and a few received via direct email: Questions about the content of the Universal Code of Conduct policy itself are very legitimate, but unrelated to the current process under review with the Board. The policy was ratified by the Board last February.[1] That said, a policy must be adapted over time as it is put into practice and complications arise. The main text of the UCoC must be adaptable, and there will be a full review and update of the text one year after the close and ratification of the current phase, which is looking at enforcement pathways.[2] We fully expect refinements at that time. Figuring out how to manage some areas of policy is challenging. Doxxing is a very difficult area to form policy around, and I know the Drafting Committee from Phase 1 worked hard to reflect best practices around the movement in this area. To clarify, Nosebagbear: Youngjin was reminding folks to get their last thoughts in for the current work the Drafting Committee is doing on revising the text. It wasn’t meant to imply that there will be no more discussion on the Guidelines before a ratification process takes place. The revisions to the draft Guidelines will be published on Meta for comment and discussion as soon as the committee feels they have incorporated the input received over the last few months. This message was just meant as a reminder to anyone who might not have been aware of the draft review. In terms of what we’re reviewing with the Board, it is a process for ratification in response to a request from the global arbitration committees. They are not being asked to ratify the Enforcement Guidelines at this time. As to how and when ratification of the guidelines will take place, thoughts and opinions from the Drafting Committee, community members and functionaries, and the Board of Trustees will inform the details. We’ll communicate a full ratification plan after the Board meets in mid-December and considers the input received so far on what would make a fair and practical process.

Hi Andreas, The review of the policy text is planned one year after the close and the ratification of the enforcement outlines, which are still being revised by the Drafting Committee. Detailed information of the policy text review will be communicated soon, as the revised guidelines are published for comment and ratification. The review will likely follow established policy update formats, such as those used for the Terms of Use.

[3] During the vote, participants helped highlight important community concerns. The Board’s Community Affairs Committee <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee> requested that these areas of concern be reviewed. [4] The volunteer-led Revisions Committee <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Drafting_committee#Revisions_Committee_members> 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 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Revised_enforcement_guidelines>*, and a comparison of changes can be found *here <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Revised_enforcement_guidelines/Comparison>*.

Hello all, On May 2, I wrote to you about the next stage in the Universal Code of Conduct process, which is assembling a Building Committee to create the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). I am pleased to announce the members of the U4C Building Committee are selected. You can see the selected candidates and work ahead for the U4C Building Committee on Meta-wiki <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/U4C_Building_Committee> . I want to take this opportunity to thank the 43 people who submitted their nomination and appreciate the people who encouraged these candidates to submit their names. Creating policy for a global community working to assemble the world’s knowledge is not a small undertaking. There were so many good candidates that it was challenging to narrow it down to the final committee; if not for the need to keep the group nimble, it could have been much larger. We also want to say thank you to everyone who has contributed to this process. I hope you will continue to provide your insights on the draft U4C Charter when it becomes available later this year. The U4C Building Committee and staff supporting the Universal Code of Conduct implementation look forward to sharing updates with the community throughout this process.

[Wikimedia-l] U4C Charter vote upcoming for January 16
Hello all, I am writing to you today with an update on the *Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (or U4C) Charter <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee>* development process. I know some of you might already be aware of it, but I’ll just summarize here briefly for anyone who may need an update about this part of the UCoC development. Earlier this year, the *Building Committee <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/U4C_Building_Committee>* for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee Charter started drafting the Charter <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Charter>. The initial version was shared for community comment a couple of months ago. After closing the community comment period, the Building Committee met again to finalize some of the details before a community ratification vote. This ratification was initially planned for late November. The Building Committee continued their conversations into December so that they could present a more comprehensive Charter for community ratification. The ratification vote is now scheduled to open next week, on January 16. We will provide more information about how to vote as it opens. Thank you for following this process, and, on behalf of the Building Committee, thanks to all Wikimedians who have provided comments and direction for this document. We look forward to seeing the results.

Hello all, I am writing to you today with two important pieces of information. First, the report of the comments from the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) Charter ratification is now available <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Charter/Vote_results>. Secondly, the *Call for Candidates for the U4C* is open now through April 1. The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC. Community members are invited to submit their applications for the U4C. For more information and the responsibilities of the U4C, please review the U4C Charter <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Charter> . Per the charter, there are 16 seats on the U4C: eight community-at-large seats and eight regional seats to ensure the U4C represents the diversity of the movement. Read more and submit your application on Meta-wiki <https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Election/2024> .
