TheUniversal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) is an enforcement structure dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of theUniversal Code of Conduct (UCoC).

Policies, procedures and processes that guide the U4C’s work are defined in theCharter which was developed by aBuilding Committee and wasratified through a movement-wide vote in January-February 2024.

More in detail, functions and responsibilities of the Committee are described in Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of theCharter.

According to the Charter, the U4C:

• Handles complaints and appeals in the circumstances outlined in theEnforcement Guidelines, including but not limited to:
  • Lack of local self-governance capacity to enforce the UCoC;
  • Consistent local decisions that conflict with the UCoC;
  • Refusal of local self-governance structures and teams to enforce the UCoC;
  • Lack of resources or lack of will to address issues that prevent the adequate enforcement of the UCoC through local self-governance processes;
• Performs any investigations necessary to resolve said complaints and appeals;
• Provides resources for communities on UCoC best practices, such as material for mandatory trainings, quality assurances for training resources created by movement members and organizations that go beyond the basic UCoC training material the U4C itself oversees, and other resources as needed;
• Provides a final interpretation of the UCoC Enforcement Guidelines and the UCoC if the need arises, in collaboration with community members enforcement structures;
