{{KidsIntro|This committee helps steer the WikiDeal ship at the very beginning. But the main goal is to give the steering wheel to the users as soon as possible, just like Wikipedia does!}}

{{ExpertIntro|The core mission of the Steering Committee is to guide the emergence of the WikiDeal project and to progressively transfer the power to select committee and foundation board members to the user community. Following the model of the Wikimedia Foundation—where board members are elected by the community of deserving users who earned voting rights through the quality and quantity of their contributions—WikiDeal is designed to be governed by its active participants.}}

== Purpose ==

The Steering Committee is ~~intended~~ to guide the ~~first steps~~ of WikiDeal governance. ~~Its~~ members are ~~invited to give their opinion and advice on~~ the ~~direction~~ of the ~~project~~. Over time, the ~~Steering~~ Committee is intended to hand over its responsibilities to ~~the~~ thematic committees ([[Policies/en/Technology-Committee-Charter|Technology]], [[Policies/en/Market-Committee-Charter|Market]], [[Policies/en/Governance-Committee-Charter|Governance]] and the other committees listed in the [[Policies/en/Main|policies index]]), as those committees come into existence.

The fundamental mission of the Steering Committee is to guide the emergence of the WikiDeal project and to '''progressively transfer decision-making power to the users'''.

At the beginning, the governance is managed by the [https://ynternet.org Ynternet.org Foundation] board and the initial Steering Committee. However, one of their primary joint missions is to transfer the responsibility of selecting who participates in governance (both the Steering Committee and the Foundation Board) directly to the community of WikiDeal users.

This strictly follows the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Overview Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees model], where board members are elected by the community of deserving users who have earned voting rights through the quality and quantity of their contributions. The Steering Committee ensures that WikiDeal structurally prepares for this transition to a user-elected governance model. Over time, the Committee is also intended to hand over its operational responsibilities to thematic committees ([[Policies/en/Technology-Committee-Charter|Technology]], [[Policies/en/Market-Committee-Charter|Market]], [[Policies/en/Governance-Committee-Charter|Governance]] and the other committees listed in the [[Policies/en/Main|policies index]]), as those committees come into existence.
