This session presents preliminary findings from a project funded by the Wikimedia Research Fund, aimed at exploring the codification process of the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC). The research team has examined this codification process, focusing on its origins, structure and the narratives guiding its enforcement. Based on empirical data collected through interviews and document analysis, we investigate the dynamics of the UcoC’s adoption and the debates over its enforcement.

The presentation aligns with the conference theme, "Collaboration of the Open," by examining the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) within the Wikimedia community, a cornerstone of open collaboration and information sharing. It specifically addresses how the UCoC, as a regulatory framework, is developed and enforced through collaborative processes, embodying the principles of openness and community governance. The research highlights the collective efforts in crafting guidelines that ensure a respectful and inclusive environment, crucial for the sustainability of open digital spaces. By analyzing debates and dynamics around the UCoC's adoption, the presentation contributes to understanding how open communities navigate challenges and evolve through collaboration.
