The Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Revisions Committee has completed their updates to the Enforcement Guidelines. The revised guidelines will be voted on in a community ratification process from January 17 through January 31, 2023.

O comitê revisou os textos das diretrizes de modo colaborativo e baseando-se nos comentários reunidos durante o período de conversas com a comunidade que ocorreu de Maio a Julho, e também durante a votação da comunidade finalizada em março de 2022.

As revisões dos textos das diretrizes de aplicação do UCoC estão focadas nas quatro seguintes áreas:

  • Identificação do tipo, propósito e aplicabilidade do treinamento do UCoC;
  • Simplificação da linguagem visando traduções mais acessíveis e compreensão por não-especialistas;
  • To clarify the concept of affirmation of the UCoC
  • Revisão do ponto de equilíbrio entre a privacidade da pessoa acusadora e da pessoa acusada
  • To provide more detail on the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) and its Building Committee
  • To clarify ambiguous phrases and terms

O Comitê de Revisões aprecia o tempo que você dedicou a revisar e comentar estas mudanças. As pessoas que o compõem lerão sugestões e incorporarão mudanças como parte do processo de revisão.

O comité agradece o envio dos comentários e sugestões sobre estas revisões até ao dia 8 de outubro de 2022. A partir daí, o comité das revisões prevê rever ainda mais as linhas diretrizes com base na contribuição da comunidade.

The UCoC applies to all online and offline Wikimedia spaces. Therefore, enforcing the UCoC is a shared responsibility. In line with the movement value of subsidiarity, this should be done at the most local level possible. The UCoC applies to all online and offline Wikimedia spaces. Therefore, enforcing the UCoC is a shared responsibility. In line with the movement principle of decentralisation, the UCoC should be enforced at the most relevant local level possible.

After the first U4C is onboarded, it will be responsible for maintaining and updating the training modules as needed.

Local communities and Wikimedia Affiliates who want to provide training at their community level will get financial support from the Wikimedia Foundation to implement training.

Training modules should be made available in different formats and on different platforms for easy access.

Participants who complete a module should have the option of having their completion publicly acknowledged.

  • It will explain concisely what the UCoC is and what kind of enforcement will be expected, as well as what tools are available to help report violations

Module B - Identification and Reporting (UCoC - Violations)

  • This module will give people the ability to identify UCoC violations, understand reporting processes and learn how to use reporting tools
  • It will detail the type of violation, how to identify reportable instances in their local context, how and where to make reports, and optimal handling of cases within UCoC processes
  • Where applicable, training will also focus on specific parts of the UCoC, such as harassment and abuses of power

Modules C - Complex cases, Appeals (UCoC - Multiple Violations, Appeals)

  • These modules are a prerequisite to joining the U4C, and are recommended for prospective U4C applicants and advanced rights holders

  • It should be possible for reports to be made publicly or with varying degrees of privacy
  • Credibility and verifiability of accusations should be investigated thoroughly to properly assess risk and legitimacy
  • Users who continually send bad faith or unjustified reports risk facing loss of reporting privileges

3.3.2 Transparency of process

The U4C, in line with its purpose and scope as defined in 4.1, should provide documentation on the effectiveness of UCoC enforcement actions and their relation to common violations throughout the movement.

3.3.3 Recursos

An action taken by an individual advanced rights holder should be appealable to a local or shared enforcement structure other than the U4C.

Enforcement structures should set standards for accepting and considering appeals based on relevant contextual information and mitigating factors. These factors include, but are not limited to: verifiability of the accusations, the length and effect of the sanction, and whether there is a suspicion of abuse of power or other systemic issues.

Appeals are not possible against certain decisions made by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department.

A new global committee called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) will be formed. This committee will be a co-equal body with other high-level decision making bodies (e.g. ArbComs and AffCom). Its purpose is to serve as final recourse in the case of systematic failures by local groups to enforce the UCoC. The U4C’s membership should be reflective of the global and diverse makeup of our global community.
