Policies/en/Societal-Impact-Committee-Charter

💡 In simple words: A group of people will watch how WikiDeal helps or changes society. They will talk about what happens and tell everyone what they find.

🎯 In 20 seconds (scientific summary): This emerging governance structure proposes establishing a committee to systematically observe and evaluate societal externalities of the WikiDeal platform. The hypothesis suggests this mechanism enables reflexive accountability while the charter framework remains deliberately open-ended, positioning institutional design as a community-validated process rather than predetermined governance, reflecting participatory governance trends in platform cooperatives.

This is a draft charter page, under construction. Status: proposal, to be adopted. It is offered as a first base position (initial hypothesis), proposed as a base for discussion, to be reviewed and validated before adoption. See the detailed disclaimer.
