This page describes the observatory itself: its watch mission and its reporting mechanisms. The intention, the culture and the practice of whistleblower protection are presented on the governance side, on the [[Gov/en/Portal:Justice/Whistleblower|Whistleblower protection]] page. | ||

== Mission == | |||
The observatory's early-warning role covers, in particular, alerts against any mechanism aiming at re-privatizing the platform, reducing trust, or weakening the approach of a global marketplace owned, run and sustained by its users. Like the other [[Market:Observatory|observatories]], it is intended to produce watch reports and alerts feeding community debates and decisions. | |||
Concrete examples of the drifts an alert could target (renewed speculative tendencies, unfair conditions that are hard to identify, potentially abusive dominant positions, facade adherence to WikiDeal values, mercenary rather than partner behaviour) are given on the [[Gov/en/Portal:Justice/Whistleblower|Whistleblower protection]] page. | |||
<span id="reporting-mechanisms"></span> | |||
== Reporting mechanisms == | |||
Following the principles already adopted on the wiki, the observatory would include: | |||
* protected '''anonymous submission forms''', with technical anonymization and data protection protocols, as a narrow, purposeful exception to the general [[Gov/en/Portal:Trust-Safety/Anonymous-Editing|no-anonymous-editing rule]]; | |||
* a '''moderated review''' of every submission before any publication; | |||
* publication in a '''dedicated section''' of the observatory, not as direct wiki edits. | |||
<span id="protection-and-support"></span> | |||
== Protection and support == | |||
Dedicated '''support persons''' would help whistleblowers formalize their reports. Both whistleblowers and those accused would benefit from '''protection from defamation'''. Protection and support are intended to cover every step, from the first report to its resolution. The culture of trust behind this commitment is described on the [[Gov/en/Portal:Justice/Whistleblower|governance page]] and in the [[Gov/en/Portal:Vision/Ecopol-Social-Contract|Ecopol social contract]]. | |||
