== Rings of Trust in WikiDeal governance ==
In the envisaged governance structure, Rings of Trust would form the middle governance level, analogous to the [[wikipedia:Cantons_of_Switzerland|Swiss cantons]], between the User Groups (the communes) and the global governance (the Confederation). WikiDeal's governance is intended as a hybrid of three proven sources: the open, wiki-style rule-making of [[wikipedia:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] and the [[wikipedia:Free_software_movement|free software movement]], the at-cost financial management and user ownership of [[wikipedia:Cooperative|cooperatives]], and the Swiss practice of collegial executives at every level, elected by an assembly of delegates. The full model is described on the [[Gov/en/Portal:Institutions/Governance|Governance]] page.
