The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) is described in the Enforcement Guidelines as:
a co-equal body with other high-level decision making bodies (e.g. ArbComs and AffCom). Its purpose is to serve as final recourse in the case of systemic failures by local groups to enforce the UCoC. The U4C’s membership shall be reflective of the global and diverse makeup of our global community.
The U4C is responsible for organizing the annual review of the Universal Code of Conduct and its Enforcement Guidelines.
