Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations

llamk'apuy

Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2

llamk'apuy

Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a universal baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire Wikimedia movement and all its projects. The project is currently in Phase 2, outlining clear enforcement pathways. You can read more about the whole project on its project page.

Drafting Committee: Call for applications

llamk'apuy

The Wikimedia Foundation is recruiting volunteers to join a committee to draft how to make the code enforceable. Volunteers on the committee will commit between 2 and 6 hours per week from late April through July and again in October and November. It is important that the committee be diverse and inclusive, and have a range of experiences, including both experienced users and newcomers, and those who have received or responded to, as well as those who have been falsely accused of harassment.

To apply and learn more about the process, see Universal Code of Conduct/Drafting committee.

2021 community consultations: Notice and call for volunteers / translators

llamk'apuy

From 5 April – 5 May 2021 there will be conversations on many Wikimedia projects about how to enforce the UCoC. We are looking for volunteers to translate key material, as well as to help host consultations on their own languages or projects using suggested key questions. If you are interested in volunteering for either of these roles, please contact us in whatever language you are most comfortable.

To learn more about this work and other conversations taking place, see Universal Code of Conduct/2021 consultations.

Hello. Considering this Wikipedia has been created so long ago, there are some elements that requires to be improved to be consistent with the nowadays status of our language. First, let me make a change in the name of this main page. The current name "Qhapaq p'anqa" doesn't match very well with thee actual meaning of "main page". The most appropiate translation for "main" is "uma", so, I'll make this change.

La Junta Directiva está preparando una convocatoria de comentarios sobre las próximas elecciones de la Junta, del 7 de enero al 10 de febrero de 2022.

Aunque los detalles se ultimarán la semana anterior a la convocatoria, hemos confirmado al menos dos preguntas que se plantearán durante esta convocatoria para recibir comentarios:

  • ¿Cuál es la mejor manera de garantizar una representación justa de las comunidades emergentes en la Junta?
  • ¿Qué grado de participación deben tener los candidatos durante las elecciones?

Aunque es posible que se añadan más preguntas, el equipo de Estrategia y Gobernanza del Movimiento quiere dar tiempo a los miembros de la comunidad y a los afiliados para que consideren y preparen ideas sobre las preguntas confirmadas antes de que se abra la convocatoria. Nos disculpamos por no tener una lista completa de preguntas en este momento. La lista de preguntas sólo debería aumentar en una o dos preguntas. La intención es no abrumar a la comunidad con solicitudes, sino avisar y agradecer los comentarios sobre estas importantes preguntas.

¿Quieres ayudar a organizar una conversación local durante esta convocatoria?

Ponte en contacto con el equipo de Estrategia y Gobernanza del Movimiento en Meta, en Telegram, o por correo electrónico en msg wikimedia.org.

Ponte en contacto con nosotros si tienes alguna pregunta o duda. El equipo de Estrategia del Movimiento y Gobernanza tendrá un mínimo de empleados hasta el 3 de enero.
