== What Roundtable 1 is ==

Donation Roundtable 1 (also referred to as the First Financial Roundtable for Prototype 1) is the first donation round of the WikiDeal project. It aims at raising '''CHF 1,000,000''' of donations to fund the construction of [[Gov/en/Portal:Meta/Prototype-1|Prototype 1]] and its [[Gov/en/Portal:Meta/Prototype-1-Deliverables|deliverables]].

Contributions are donations to the Ynternet.org Foundation, not investments: they confer no ownership, no share and no right of repayment. In gratitude, donors receive [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards|Rewards]], the community redistribution mechanism of WikiDeal.

<span id="reward-multiplier"></span>
== Reward multiplier: x100 for the first CHF 200,000 ==

The number of Rewards attributed for a donation is intended to follow these rules:

* For the '''first CHF 200,000''' raised in Roundtable 1, the Reward multiplier is '''blocked at x100''': a donation of CHF 1,000 would be acknowledged with Rewards for a value of CHF 100,000.
* Beyond the first CHF 200,000, the [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Bonding-Curve|bonding curve]] declines progressively, and the [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Need-Driven-Funding|Need-Driven Funding]] mechanism starts to regulate the redistribution.

<span id="amount-defined-at-donation"></span>
== The amount that counts is the one announced at donation ==

When a person makes a donation, the corresponding amount of Rewards is computed from the bonding curve and the Need-Driven Funding mechanism, and '''announced to the donor at that moment'''. That amount, and that amount exclusively, is attributed to the donor's Rewards.

<span id="activation"></span>
== Activation and cash out ==

* A donation becomes '''effective''' when the payment is confirmed: immediately for a credit card payment, or upon receipt of a bank transfer (which can take up to 7 days).
* As soon as the donation is effective, the donor's Rewards are '''active''': redistribution can start from the first subscription received, within the minute following the activation of the donation.
* Cash out is available in increments of at least '''CHF 100''': amounts below CHF 100 accumulate until the available balance reaches CHF 100. See the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Cashout-Policy|Cashout policy]].
