Instructions: Please propose any changes as simply as possible and with your signature. You may propose and comment in any language. Longer thoughts or explanations can be included as a reply.

  • Remove the U4CBC section (and any mentions of it elsewhere). From U4C discussion. Posted by Barkeep49 (talk) 18:25, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Align the Charter and Enforcement Guidelines: no blocks/bans in the past year or no current ones? From U4C discussion. Posted by Barkeep49 (talk) 18:25, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Allow for referrals from communities and/or high-level decision making bodies. From U4C discussion. Posted by Barkeep49 (talk) 18:25, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The Charter allows for referrals by the Foundation and high-level decision making bodies for systemic failures, but it seems silly to limit referrals to only those categories. The Charter also requires the U4C to at least open an investigation in those referrals. I do not think that is necessary for non-systemic failure referrals.

  • Clarify if ArbComs must be NDA (sign the ANPDP) in order to be considered high-level decision making bodies. From U4C discussion. Posted by Barkeep49 (talk) 18:25, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    This was brought up by a different U4C member but just to put the conflict out there more explicitly I will copy their comments anonymously given that I don't think I can publicly reveal for them that they said it "Clarify the consistency under "3.1.2 Enforcement by type of violations" "local governance structure (e.g. ArbCom)" versus "NDA-signed, high-level decision-making body" in the charter."
