Escalation: Where do the complaints go, what instance/body/judge is supposed to process them.

Regulations for appeal (after the previous question "Where do the complaints go" has been answered).

Should the U4C committee also decide individual cases or process appeals?

When should someone be able to initiate an appeal for a UCoC violation?

What kinds of behavior or evidence would we want to see before granting an appeal?

Who should handle the appeals process?

How often should someone be allowed to appeal a UCoC violation decision?

To what extent should individual Wikimedia projects be allowed to decide how they enforce the UCoC?

How will people be chosen for the U4C committee?

Our current recommended list of users include, but are not limited to: CheckUsers, oversighters, bureaucrats, administrators of local projects, arbitration committee members, Wikimedia Foundation employees, Affiliates, etc.)

Should an interim committee be formed while the "U4C" committee is being created?

Should global conduct committees, such as the Technical Code of Conduct committee, be merged into the proposed U4C?

General comments

No comments after almost a month, maybe this needs to be advertised in a wider forum? --Rs chen 7754 05:59, 13 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
- Hello there, thanks for pointing this out. This has been advertised through beginning of review period, however, unlike the discussion in February, this is happening on all wikis, and there are no facilitator exclusively responsible for Wikidata. So it seems that some members of the Wikidata community are responding through other means such as meta. I will going through another announcement through Wikidata community, however this could be appreciated that if there are known place other than Project chat feel free to notify the consultation is still going. Thank you.--YKo (WMF) (talk) 04:16, 27 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
