Hello everyone, As a follow-up to the message about the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines <https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/IOMVS7W75ZYMABQGOQ2QH2JAURC3CHGH/> by Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Vice Chair, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, I am reaching out about the next steps. I want to bring your attention to the next stage of the Universal Code of Conduct process, which is forming a building committee for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). I invite community members with experience and deep interest in community health and governance to nominate themselves to be part of the U4C building committee, which needs people who are: - Community members in good standing - Knowledgeable about movement community processes, such as, but not limited to, policy drafting, participatory decision making, and application of existing rules and policies on Wikimedia projects - Aware and appreciative of the diversity of the movement, such as, but not limited to, languages spoken, identity, geography, and project type - Committed to participate for the entire U4C Building Committee period from mid-May - December 2023 - Comfortable with engaging in difficult, but productive conversations - Confidently able to communicate in English The Building Committee shall consist of volunteer community members, affiliate board or staff, and Wikimedia Foundation staff. The Universal Code of Conduct has been a process strengthened by the skills and knowledge of the community and I look forward to what the U4C Building Committee creates. If you are interested in joining the Building Committee, please either sign up on the Meta-Wiki page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/U4C_Building_Committee/Nominations>, or contact ucocproject[image: (_AT_)]wikimedia.org by May 12, 2023. *Read more on Meta-Wiki <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/U4C_Building_Committee>* .
