This page and subpages cover the creation and work of the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee Building Committee (U4C Building Committee, U4CBC).
About
[edit]The UCoC Enforcement Guidelines require a Building Committee be formed to draft a charter that outlines procedures and details for a global committee to be called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). The U4C Building Committee was convened to define and set up the U4C to coordinate the on-going work of the UCoC. This work includes the enforcement, annual review and possible revision of the Universal Code of Conduct and its Enforcement Guidelines.
Process
[edit]The formation of the Building Committee is the first step in this U4C development process. Community members were invited to nominate themselves for the Building Committee. The candidate applications were reviewed and vetted by the Community Resilience and Sustainability team.
Summaries from the meetings of the committee are available.
With the seating of the first U4C in June 2024, the Building Committee was dissolved.
