# '''Operations & Standby''': After the final evaluation, the idea enters the operational phase (with regular follow-ups). The Chairperson and the Commission are ''not dissolved'': they go on standby. Just like Wikipedia articles remain open for debate, these experts serve as guardians of the concept. They can be reactivated years later to study new ideas or significant changes. The Chairperson role can be handed over to a successor if both the Commission and Steering Committee agree.

== Open call waves ==

Open calls are organised in '''waves''', and each wave has '''two parts''': the calls that concern '''WikiDeal as a global platform''' (structure, identity, management), and the calls that concern '''specific marketplaces'''. Wave 1 gathers the four '''early bird''' calls, the pilot experience calls, also called open calls '''for pioneers''': they are launched before the steering committee is formed, and they are especially open to Wiki experts (experts in Wiki design and use). Their informal launch is planned for '''21 July 2026''', the opening day of [https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2026:Wikimania Wikimania 2026] in Paris, which celebrates the 25th anniversary of Wikipedia. Wave 2 gathers draft calls that are still under discussion: they are listed below, and the list itself is intended to evolve.

* A proposal can bring just the theory, just the practice, or both.

* '''Example 1 (Software):''' The person formalizing an algorithm (theory) and the developer writing the code (practice) might be two different people. They can submit a joint proposal or help each other across different proposals.

* '''Example 2 (Design):''' The same person might propose a logo concept (theory) and also deliver its ~~variations—black~~ and white, with or without a slogan (practice).

* '''Example 2 (Design):''' The same person might propose a logo concept (theory) and also deliver its variations: black and white, with or without a slogan (practice).

The ultimate goal of Open Calls is to stimulate the transformation of ideas into realistic, implementable results. Ideas are fully recognized when they are not only brilliant but also '''realizable''' within acceptable constraints of time, budget, and skills.

== State of the art ==

Open Calls apply a well-documented family of methods: open innovation, crowdsourcing and user-driven innovation. The works below are the reference literature that inspires this mechanism.
