<p>Create Creation-rules page (requirements, recognition process)</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>__TOC__<br /> == Eligibility &amp; Requirements ==<br /> To ensure quality and accountability, forming a Recognized User Group is intended to require the following. (Note: creation is not yet open — it will come with &#039;&#039;&#039;Prototype 1 Phase 2&#039;&#039;&#039;).<br /> <br /> # &#039;&#039;&#039;Founding Members:&#039;&#039;&#039; A working rule proposed is a minimum of 3 active, identified founding members (including at least one coordinator), to prevent abandoned portals. Members must be logged in and identified: a User Group is built on people who take responsibility, not anonymous accounts.<br /> # &#039;&#039;&#039;Clear Purpose and Scope:&#039;&#039;&#039; The group must define a clear purpose, usually tied to operating a specific service portal or thematic area (e.g. babysitting in Geneva, or web design globally).<br /> # &#039;&#039;&#039;Alignment with Principles:&#039;&#039;&#039; The group must agree to WikiDeal&#039;s core principles, including AGPL v3 licensing, a non-extractive economic model, and compliance with applicable laws.<br /> <br /> == The Recognition Process ==<br /> # &#039;&#039;&#039;Prepare:&#039;&#039;&#039; Gather your founding members and define your scope.<br /> # &#039;&#039;&#039;Apply:&#039;&#039;&#039; Submit your proposal for a portal.<br /> # &#039;&#039;&#039;Board of Audit review:&#039;&#039;&#039; The Board of Audit reviews the application for alignment with WikiDeal&#039;s principles. The review is meant to stay flexible and fluid, not a fixed waiting period.<br /> # &#039;&#039;&#039;Endorsement &amp; Launch:&#039;&#039;&#039; Once endorsed, the User Group gets its dedicated portal, autonomous treasury tracking, and voting rights in WikiDeal governance — and, where the use case is taken up, the Foundation develops its smart app.<br /> <br /> This model goes in the same direction as the Wikimedia Foundation&#039;s &quot;recognized user groups&quot; (lightweight requirements, at least 3 active members, agreement to shared principles, review by a committee), adapted to the WikiDeal context.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[User group:Home|User Groups Home]]<br /> * [[User group:How it works|How it works]]<br /> * [[Gov/en/Portal:Onboarding/Create-User-Group|Launch a User Group (onboarding)]]</div>
