	WikiDeal's community token~~, previously called "Miles Credits",~~ currently uses the working name '''~~WIL~~ token''' ("~~WikiDeal Inner Life~~"): a ~~token reflecting the will~~ to ~~share vital community dynamics~~, a barter-style unit for otherwise unused resources in the functional economy (initial hypothesis; not a currency in the legal sense). The ~~term is considered provisional and is expected to change~~. This draft open call is intended to invite proposals for the right durable name of this community token.		WikiDeal's community token currently uses the working name '''Karma token''' (previous working names: "WIL token" and, before that, "Miles Credits"). By sharing unused resources and/or contributing as a volunteer, you can earn Karma tokens, usable within your Rings of Trust to get access to services and goods such as housing, transportation or food: a barter-style unit for otherwise unused resources in the functional economy, creating a citizen participation with an exchange network (initial hypothesis; not a currency in the legal sense). The working name may still evolve. This draft open call is intended to invite proposals for the right durable name of this community token.

	The token itself is described on the [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/~~WIL~~-Tokens\|~~WIL~~ tokens]] page of the Economy portal and, from the resource-sharing angle, on the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Time Resource Bank\|Time and Resource Bank]] page.		Note that "WIL" is not part of this call any more: it now designates the '''WikiDeal License''', the license to use the platform and the unit of the monthly and annual subscriptions, and is not to be renamed.

			The token itself is described on the [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Karma-Tokens\|Karma tokens]] page of the Economy portal and, from the resource-sharing angle, on the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Time Resource Bank\|Time and Resource Bank]] page.
