The community has not approved the WMF's UCoC. It is not a Wikimedia policy, it is not binding, it has no authority. The WMF does not control the Wikimedia projects, and has no jurisdiction in this area.
The community rejected this over and over again. It is harmful that the Board is pretending they can do this unilaterally. -- Yair Rand בתאריך יום ג׳, 2 בפבר׳ 2021 ב-6:59 מאת María Sefidari < ma...@wikimedia.org>: > Hi everyone, > > I’m pleased to announce that the Board of Trustees has unanimously > approved a Universal Code of Conduct for the Wikimedia projects and > movement.[1] A Universal Code of Conduct was one of the final > recommendations of the Movement Strategy 2030 process - a multi-year, > participatory community effort to define the future of our movement.
