[Wikimedia-l] Announcing updates to the Case Review Committee

Greetings, The Case Review Committee has some updates to share. First, the Case Review Committee has successfully appointed new members to support the community. The Case Review Committee (CRC) reviews appeals of eligible Trust and Safety office actions [1]. The CRC is a critical layer of oversight to ensure that Wikimedia Foundation office actions are fair and unbiased. They also make sure the Wikimedia Foundation doesn’t overstep established practices or boundaries. If you are interested in joining the CRC, look forward to more information later in the year. Read more about the selection process on Meta [2]. Second, some of you may have noticed in the call for applications in late 2023, the Case Review Committee removed interim from their name [3]. The Case Review Committee has played an important role in supporting volunteer contributors and community health, and will continue to serve a role not covered by the Universal Code of Conduct. Read more about what the Case Review Committee does on Diff [4]. Lastly, the CRC's handbook has been updated with changes to language and a few process point clarifications. You can find a public version of the handbook, including a link to revision differences, published on Meta [5]. 1. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Trust_and_Safety/Case_Review_Committee 2. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Trust_and_Safety/Case_Review_Committee/Hand… 3. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Trust_and_Safety/Case_Review_Committee… 4. https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/10/01/what-does-the-case-review-committee-d… 5. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Trust_and_Safety/Case_Review_Committee/Hand… -- Keegan Peterzell (he/him) Lead Committee Support Specialist Committee Support Wikimedia Foundation
