{{KidsIntro|When people pay their small yearly fee to use WikiDeal, that money is shared with the people who helped fund the project. This page asks a big question: how much of each fee should be shared, now and later? Everyone can send ideas.}}

{{ExpertIntro|This open call concerns the cashout policy: the share of each subscription that is redistributed to Reward holders, and following which formula. For the first tranche of CHF 200,000 donated for Prototype 1, subscription revenue is entirely (100%) attributed to Rewards. If this allocation is modified later, at least 50% of subscription revenue would remain attributed to Reward holders, as a contractual commitment protecting the donors' trust in the possibility of cashing out their Rewards. The call, part of wave 2 (WikiDeal global), would collect proposals and analyses on the exact ratio, its evolution over time and the conditions of any change. No deadline for now: it will be determined once at least CHF 100,000 in donations have been obtained.}}

The starting points of this call are the following:

* For the '''first tranche of CHF 200,000''' donated for Prototype 1, subscription revenue is '''entirely (100%) attributed to Rewards'''.

* It is possible that this allocation is modified at a later stage, so that only a part of the subscriptions is redistributed. In that case, '''at least 50% of subscription revenue''' would remain attributed to Reward holders: this is a '''contractual commitment''', made to protect the donors' trust in the possibility of cashing out their Rewards (see the donation agreement).

* It is possible that this allocation is modified at a later stage, so that only a part of the subscriptions is redistributed. In that case, '''at least 50% of subscription revenue on average''' (over Prototype 1) would remain attributed to Reward holders: this is a '''contractual commitment''', made to protect the donors' trust in the possibility of cashing out their Rewards (see the donation agreement).

Three options are envisaged for the percentage of each subscription attributed to the cash-out (see the [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Cashout-Mechanism|cashout mechanism]] page for the full picture):

Line 37:

# '''a degressive percentage''', starting at 100% and progressively decreasing to 1% as holders receive their restitution.

For the donors of the first million, the commitment is that the percentage stays between 50% and 100% (this commitment does not cover early supporters, for whom terms may change in order to preserve liquidity).

For the donors of the first million, the commitment is that the percentage stays between 50% and 100%, that is, at least 50% on average over Prototype 1 (this commitment does not cover early supporters, for whom terms may change in order to preserve liquidity).

This call invites proposals and analyses on the best formula: which exact ratio or curve, at which stage, for which reasons, and under which governance any change would be decided.
