Art+Feminism User Group/UCoC Survey 2020

Art+Feminism Wikimedia Universal Code of Conduct Survey

The extended deadline to participate in the survey was Sunday, July 26th, 2020. The survey was available in English, Spanish and French.

Recently, the Wikimedia Foundation Board voted on a mandate to create a Universal Code of Conduct for all Wikimedia projects. Art+Feminism considers this a big step for the Wikimedia movement and we want to invite our community to be part of the consultation process.⁣

Internally, we’ve compiled all relevant information and links in a guidance document. We invite you to consult and share with projects and individuals interested in creating a safe environment for all on Wikimedia.⁣

If you would like to participate in an online discussion about the UCoC on Friday, July 17th at 2:30 pm UTC (Duration: 1 hour), please RSVP here: Link to Google Form.

We’ve created this survey (five-minutes) to get a sense of our community’s thoughts on this matter. The deadline to participate in the survey is Thursday, July 16th, 2020.

Please note that this conversation will happen primarily in English, however, facilitators speak Spanish and French and can offer translation into those languages. If you can provide translation into another language (via the chat or verbally) please let us know. We invite you to share your preferences regarding the primary language for this meeting and other Art+Feminism meetings. (Translations into Spanish and French of the document soon).
