Enforcement guidelines summary

More languages • Please help translate to your language

In this table, you can find a summary of the full Enforcement guidelines. It was created to ensure that every member of the community can understand the new guidelines.

WHO is responsible for enforcing the UCoC?

Designated community functionaries and bodies^[1]

The Wikimedia Foundation

Event safety team members and people in similar roles

A new committee called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (aka the U4C)

The U4C will monitor enforcement of the UCoC. The composition of the U4C will be decided by the U4C Building Committee. The building committee will be selected in the same way as the previous UCoC committees. The outline prepared by the Building Committee will be voted on by the community

Local and global functionaries should understand how UCoC enforcement works even if they are not part of the U4C

Notes

↑ such as, but not limited to administrators or Arbitration Committees

HOW will this be done?

The UCoC should be visible in as many places as possible

Certain individuals will have to declare their regard for and adherence to the UCoC

Local communities, affiliates, and the Wikimedia Foundation 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

The Enforcement Guidelines represent the boundaries of the kinds of behaviour communities should engage in to enforce and follow the UCoC

WHAT additional things need to be in place for this to happen?

The Enforcement Guidelines recommend the creation of a centralized reporting system

Communities are free to continue to use their existing enforcement systems as long as they do not contradict the Enforcement Guidelines

The Enforcement Guidelines note that appeals should be possible and practically available to individuals who were sanctioned for UCoC violations

Reports should include enough information to be actionable or provide a useful record of the case at hand. The reporting interface should allow the complainant to provide such details to whoever is responsible for processing that particular case. This includes information such as, but not limited to:

The way in which the reported behaviour violates the UCoC
Who or what has been harmed by this violation of the UCoC
The date and time at which this incident, or incidents, occurred
The location(s) where this incident occurred
Other pertinent information to allow enforcement bodies to best adjudicate the matter

The tool should operate under the principles of ease-of-use, privacy and anonymity, flexibility in processing, and transparent documentation.

Privacy and anonymity

Allow reports to be made either publicly (where all details of the case are viewable by the general public), or with varying degrees of privacy (for example, where the name of the reporter is hidden to the public; where the username of any individuals involved in the reported behaviour are hidden to the public; and other potential examples)
Permit reports to be made whether logged in or logged out

Processing

Allow reports to be processed privately by whoever is charged with resolving UCoC violations
Allow reports to be forwarded to relevant bodies; Link current cases to previous cases involving the same recipient of a complaint, including allowing reports made in-person or off-wiki to be linked to ongoing reports of UCoC violations
Provide a way to integrate or document an in-person report into this same reporting system
Allow those who are processing cases to filter out bad-faith reports

Transparent documentation

Provide a way to publicly archive all cases in a searchable manner, while preserving privacy and security in non-public cases
Assign each case a unique public identifier for the purpose of public visibility
Allow limited data collection on basic statistics about the use of this tool, for the purposes of reporting out information about UCoC enforcement to the general public, in keeping with our principles of minimal data collection and respect for the privacy of our community members

Individuals charged with enforcing the UCoC are not required to use this tool and may continue to work with whatever tools they deem necessary or most appropriate, provided that they allow cases to be handled or created according to the same principles of ease-of-use, privacy and anonymity, flexibility in processing, and transparent documentation.

Recommendations for local enforcement structures

Where possible we encourage existing enforcement structures to take up the responsibility of receiving and dealing with UCoC violations, in accordance with the guidelines stated above. If the local enforcement structure is stricter than the following baseline in a particular case, we recommend following the existing local enforcement structure over this guideline. In order to make sure that enforcement of the UCoC remains consistent across the movement, we recommend the following baseline principles are applied when handling UCoC violations on the scale of an individual project.

Fairness in process

Supportive conflict-of-interest policies that help admins or others determine when to abstain or disengage from a report when they are closely involved in the issue. In keeping with existing Wikimedia arbitration processes, arbitrators named in a dispute should recuse themselves from the case.
When more information is needed to support a decision by the U4C and by staying within the expectation of the privacy policy and while minimizing undue harm to the accuser or the accusee while continuing due process, high level decision making bodies and communities will invite perspectives from the accused.

Transparency of process

Existing communities and/or the Wikimedia Foundation should provide documentation on the severity of different, common kinds of harassment that can be used to map onto different outcomes. This would aid in supporting administrators or other enforcement bodies to use these recommendations to self-determine appropriate severity

Wikimedia projects and affiliates, when possible, should maintain pages outlining policies and enforcement mechanisms in line with the UCoC policy text. Projects and affiliates with existing guidelines or policies in contradiction to the UCoC policy text should discuss changes to conform with global community standards. Updating or creating new local policies should be done in a way that does not conflict with the UCoC. Projects and affiliates may request advisory opinions from the U4C about potential new policies or guidelines.

For Wikimedia-specific conversations occurring on related space hosted on third party platforms (e.g. Discord, Telegram, etc.), Wikimedia’s Terms of Use may not apply. They are covered by that specific website's Terms of Use and conduct policies. Nevertheless, the behavior of Wikimedians on related space hosted on third party platforms can be accepted as additional evidence in reports of UCoC violations. Wikimedia Foundation should seek cooperation (where feasible) with such third-party platforms and encourage them to add guidelines that discourage exporting of on-wiki conflicts to their spaces.

Processing appeals

Individuals who have been found to have violated the UCoC should have the possibility of appeal.

Appeal pathways

An action by an individual advanced rights holder should be appealable to a local or shared collective decision body other than U4C (such as an ArbCom). If no such collective decision-making body exists, then an appeal to the U4C can be permissible. Aside from this arrangement, local communities may allow appeals to a different individual advanced rights holder.

Appeals are not possible in following cases:

for vandalizing IPs, spam-only accounts, and similar cases
for light sanctions (under 2 weeks ban)
against a decision made by a Project’s community except if there is a suspicion of abuse of power or a systematic issue;
against a decision of a high level decision making body except if referred by that body
against certain decisions made by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal Team based on conflicting legal obligations

Deciding appeals by U4C and community bodies

The decision should be based on following factors:

The severity of the initial breach of the UCoC;
Any prior history of UCoC violations on the part of the individuals involved;
The severity of sanctions against the person engaging in a UCoC violation;
The impact and harm caused by the UCoC violation to specific individuals, classes of editors, and to the project as a whole;
The length of time since the breach occurred;
Contextual analysis of the breach as well as current state may be considered on a case by case basis;
The suspicion of an abuse of power; and
The suspicion of a systemic issue.

UCoC Coordinating Committee (U4C)

A new global committee called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) will be formed. This committee will be a peer body with other high level decision making bodies (e.g. ArbComs and AffCom), and intended to be a final alternative in the case of systematic failures by local bodies to enforce the Universal Code of Conduct.

Purpose

The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee monitors reports of breaches of the UCoC, may engage in additional investigations and will take actions to where appropriate. The U4C will regularly monitor and assess the state of enforcement of the Code and may suggest suitable changes to UCoC to the Wikimedia Foundation and the community for consideration. When necessary, the U4C will assist the Wikimedia Foundation in handling cases.

The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee:

handles complaints and appeals in certain circumstances as outlined below, as well as performs any investigations necessary to resolve them;
provides resources for best practices for community adherence to the UCoC, such as but not limited to training materials and clarifying escalatory pathways;
together with high level decision making bodies and communities, provides a final interpretation of this document "UCoC Enforcement Guidelines" and the UCoC itself whenever ambiguity arises;
develop a self-evaluation / reflective process on decisions and procedures to support better decision making and processing of cases;
monitors and assesses the effectiveness of UCoC enforcement in practice and suggests changes amendments to the UCoC enforcement guidelines to align with future needs and concerns, with input from the Wikimedia Foundation and the broader community – makes suggestions to the Wikimedia Foundation and the community for changes to this document "UCoC Enforcement Guidelines" and the UCoC itself.

The U4C may not on its own:

change this document "UCoC Enforcement Guidelines" or the UCoC itself;
create regulations that contradict this document "UCoC Enforcement Guidelines" or the UCoC itself, or circumvent those in any way;

The U4C will not take cases that involve employer-employee relations disputes, general disagreements between the WMF and its affiliates, or any matter that does not relate to the violations of the Universal Code of Conduct, and its enforcement.

Scope

There are some limitations on the cases that can be escalated to the U4C for review.

The U4C shall have jurisdiction for final decision making:

Where no local structure exists to address a complaint;
Where local structures are unable to handle a case;
Where local structures themselves decide to escalate a case to the U4C committee for final decision making;
For severe systematic issues, that cannot be handled by existing enforcement structures, such as, but not limited to, cases of local structures counteracting the UCoC, UCoC violations spanning multiple Wikimedia communities or projects, or cases involving a large number of individuals. The U4C itself or the U4C building committee will impose detailed rules for acceptance of such cases.
Where the case is referred to the U4C by the Wikimedia Foundation and accepted at the U4C’s discretion

The U4C may delegate its final decision making authority except in instances of severe system issues.

The U4C will also:

Help local structures with the Universal Code of Conduct. This may include
- training
- suggestion of best practices
- advice and consultation
- assisting a local structure in setting up a high level decision making body
Provide reports to the global community and the WMF Board, no less than once a year, on UCoC enforcement, details of reporting will be decided by the U4C Building committee
Suggest changes to the UCoC and to UCoC enforcement
Act as non-exclusive community liaison with the Wikimedia Foundation on the Universal Code of Conduct.
Provide advice to local structures high level decision making bodies and communities when asked

Selection, membership, and roles

Voting members of the committee will be selected annually in elections organized and run by the community. Candidates must:

Meet the Wikimedia Foundation's criteria for access to nonpublic personal data and confirm in their election statement they will fully comply with the criteria; and
Not be sanctioned in any Wikimedia project or have an event ban;
Comply with the UCoC; and
Meet any other eligibility requirements determined by the election process.

Members of the U4C will sign a non-disclosure agreement to provide them access to nonpublic information.

In exceptional circumstances, the U4C may call interim elections, in a format similar to that of the regular annual elections, if it determines that resignations or inactivity have created an immediate need for additional members.

The Wikimedia Foundation may appoint up to two non-voting members of the Committee.

The U4C may form subcommittees or designate individuals for particular tasks or roles as appropriate.

Membership in the U4C shall be open to any Wikimedia Movement community member in good standing. The U4C’s membership should be reflective of the global and diverse makeup of our global community.

Individual members of the U4C do not have to resign from other mandates (eg. local sysop, member of ArbCom, event safety coordinator), but they may not participate in processing cases they have been involved in as result of their other mandates.

Procedures

The U4C will decide on how often it should convene and on other procedures. The U4C may create or modify their procedures as long as it is with-in their scope. Where appropriate, the Committee should invite community comment on intended changes prior to implementing them.

Policy and precedent

The U4C does not create new policy and may not amend or change the Universal Code of Conduct. The U4C instead applies and enforces the UCoC as defined by its scope.

While the Committee will typically take into account its earlier decisions when deciding new cases, previous decisions do not create precedent. As community policies, guidelines and norms evolve over time, previous decisions will be taken into account only to the extent that they remain relevant in the current context.

U4C Building Committee

Following ratification of the UCoC enforcement guidelines, the Wikimedia Foundation will facilitate a process to draft, in the form of a constitution, the remainder of the U4C process, handle any other logistics necessary to establish the U4C, and help facilitate the initial election procedures.

The Building committee will consist of volunteer movement members brought in through an open application process, affiliate staff volunteering for it and qualified Foundation staff based on specific skills (including legal experience, diversity & inclusion experience, and translatability expertise). Members will be selected by the Vice President of Community Resilience and Sustainability of the Wikimedia Foundation. Volunteer members for the committee will be respected community members with at least two of the following skills or traits:

experience in policy drafting
experience with the application of existing rules and policies on Wikimedia projects
experience in cooperating online
empathy
experience in collaborating in an international team
participatory decision making

They will be selected as much as possible to also represent the diversity of our movement in respect to languages spoken, geography, gender, age, project size of their home wiki, and their roles within the Wikimedia movement.

The work of the U4C Building Committee will be ratified either by the Global Council or by a community process similar to the ratification of this document.
