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].
