Hello Code4Lib Community, We have two major announcements for you. First of all, we are working on a procedure to manage changes to the Code of Conduct repository <https://github.com/code4lib/code-of-conduct>. There are several pull requests that have sat in the repository for years because there is no clear, community-approved method of managing them. We are proposing a new approval method <https://github.com/code4lib/code-of-conduct/blob/changes-procedure/how_changes_are_made.md> which is attached to this email. We want to follow this document's own community vote guidelines: a discussion on the pull request and then a vote held via web form. Please let us know if you have any questions; you can direct comments to us here, on Slack, or on the pull request <https://github.com/code4lib/code-of-conduct/pull/84>. Secondly, to review proposed changes to the Code of Conduct, we will need Community Support volunteers that are year-round and not scoped to the annual conference. We are still working on the parameters of these volunteer positions but we anticipate they will: be two-year terms, undergo community vetting, attend an initial training, enforce the Code of Conduct in online spaces, and manage change requests once we have a procedure in place. They will not be required to attend the annual conference or volunteer unless desired. If you are interested in the year-round Community Support Volunteer positions, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/tHrKL6e7x1Ms8HKJ6 Sincerely, Your Community Support Squad Coordinators Natasha Allen Eric Phetteplace
