# '''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 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.

Wave 2 calls are drafts under construction. They have not been launched yet. We have moved the full list of these draft calls to a dedicated page so they don't mix with active calls.

Rewards can combine several complementary forms: direct cash payments, [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards|Rewards]] (no guarantee*), which represent a conditional claim on future subscription revenue, and [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Karma-Tokens|Karma tokens]], which can be exchanged for services within the WikiDeal ecosystem. See [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards|Rewards]] for the full picture. For each call, a specific prize is attributed depending on the available funds, the importance, the urgency, and the complexity of the challenge. There may be multiple winners in a cycle, a main prize and a complementary prize, to recognise proposals that work well together. The Open Calls are designed to remain genuinely community-driven, with evaluation guided by public vote and independent expert review.
