Upcoming vote on the revised Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of ConductEdit
Hello all,
In mid-January 2023, the Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct will undergo a second community-wide ratification vote. This follows the March 2022 vote, which resulted in a majority of voters supporting the Enforcement Guidelines. During the vote, participants helped highlight important community concerns. The Board’s Community Affairs Committee requested that these areas of concern be reviewed.
The volunteer-led Revisions Committee worked hard reviewing community input and making changes. They updated areas of concern, such as training and affirmation requirements, privacy and transparency in the process, and readability and translatability of the document itself.
The revised Enforcement Guidelines can be viewed here, and a comparison of changes can be found here.
How to vote?
Beginning January 17, 2023, voting will be open. This page on Meta-wiki outlines information on how to vote using SecurePoll.
Who can vote?
The eligibility requirements for this vote are the same as for the Wikimedia Board of Trustees elections. See the voter information page for more details about voter eligibility. If you are an eligible voter, you can use your Wikimedia account to access the voting server.
What happens after the vote?
Votes will be scrutinized by an independent group of volunteers, and the results will be published on Wikimedia-l, the Movement Strategy Forum, Diff and on Meta-wiki. Voters will again be able to vote and share concerns they have about the guidelines. The Board of Trustees will look at the levels of support and concerns raised as they look at how the Enforcement Guidelines should be ratified or developed further.

Global police community on manual of style about transgender subjectEdit
Hi
I was thinking that it may be a good idea to have a manual of style about gender identity for all wiki and to implement it throught meta to make it global, to overtake the transphobia of local wikipedia and other wikiproject (see for exemple the transphobic opposition and the cyberharcelement against WPCSTRANS and the survey on french wikipedia) . We can start from the english manual of style.
What do you think of it?

LGBT and WikipediaEdit
Over at English Wikipedia, I've thrown en:LGBT and Wikipedia into the main space to see what happens (seems to me there should be an entry about the intersection of LGBT + Wikipedia). I've disclosed having a general COI on the talk page. I invite editors to help expand and improve.
Thanks! -Another Believer (talk) 19:06, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
- Also, are any editors interested in translating en:Wiki Loves Pride into other languages? -Another Believer (talk) 15:10, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

February 2023 notesEdit
Notes are here -
In my view this is a continuation of topics discussed for years. There is progress but it is all slow. The new development in recent months is offer of funding from the Wikimedia Foundation to build out administration, but there are challenges for this in any case.
If anyone wants to participate in live discussions then I recommend first getting engaged in the telegram at https://telegram.me/wmlgbt and from there join public meetings and ask about governance meetings.
