Hello Matthew Flaschen, Hello List,
The code of conduct is affecting the whole Wikimedia community, including dewp/enwp/et all. Why? Because if someone from dewp for example want to report a bug the code of conduct applies. So the local community should be notified as well, imho. I am also not a fan if a Staffer (Matthew in this case) is taking part of the vote and then closing/evaluating the section himself, i see a conflict of interest here. This should be done by someone completely uninvolved. Matthew is highly involved and should, imho, abstain from marking section as done/consensus and striking votes. I am not against a code of conduct (of course not! if someone is insulting other users or playing nasty games then he should get blocked ), but i am against a code of conduct whit a arbcom like constructions which lives door and gate open for potential abuse. Just a few thoughts :-) Regards, Steinsplitter ________________________________ Von: Wikimedia-l <[email protected]> im Auftrag von Matthew Flaschen <[email protected]> Gesendet: Donnerstag, 23.

I agree that it's been widely announced in the appropriate venues (e.g. wikitech-l and other lists, Phabricator, MediaWiki.org). Ultimately, what matters is whether they are a participant in the technical community, not whether they are a volunteer or staff. However, both volunteers and staff participants have joined the CoC process.
