On this page, you can find an abstract of the full Enforcement draft guidelines review document. It was created to ensure that every member of the community can understand the new guidelines.

WHO will be responsible for enforcing the UCOC?

• The WMF, designated people such as code enforcement officers, and a new committee called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (AKA the U4C).

• The U4C will oversee the process of UCoC enforcement, manage special cases, provide guidance and training, and monitor enforcement of the UCoC.

• Local and global functionaries will have guidance to know how to enforce the UCoC even if they are not part of the U4C.

HOW will this be done?

• The UCoC should be visible in as many places as possible.

• Certain individuals will have to declare their respect for and adherence to the UCoC.

• Local communities, affiliates, and the WMF should develop and conduct training for community members so they can better address harassment and other UCoC violations.

• The guidelines also lay out recommendations for which parties should address what types of UCoC violations.

• The guidelines suggest certain principles for processing and filing cases to ensure UCoC violations are addressed similarly across all projects.

WHAT else needs to be done to enforce the UCOC?

• The draft recommends the creation of a common, centralized reporting system.

• The draft also recommends expanding the coverage of ArbComs to increase global coverage.

• The draft notes that appeals should be possible and practically available to individuals who were sanctioned for UCoC violations.

HOW can I get involved in the EDGR process?

• The Drafting Committee has provided questions for the community to think about in regards to this draft. Please answer a couple of them in your preferred discussion venue.
