WikiDeal policies

These are all the policies proposed for the WikiDeal platform and the Ynternet.org Foundation. Each policy has the status: proposal, to be adopted.

About this page

This set of policies was adapted from the encyclopedic world: it is based on the official policies of the Wikimedia Foundation, which have governed large collaborative projects for two decades. Three things were changed in the adaptation:

1. The managing organization: these policies refer to the Ynternet.org Foundation, which hosts and incubates WikiDeal, instead of the original encyclopedic foundation.
2. The scope: references to encyclopedic projects were adapted to the WikiDeal platform, a marketplace of fair contracts.
3. The status: every policy here is a proposal, not yet validated. Proposals are made by the WikiDeal founder (see credits) as initial hypotheses, then discussed and first validated by the founding steering committee (hosting and incubation phase), then transmitted to the community of WikiDealers through a soft transmission. The community organizes itself progressively, choosing by itself the members of its Board of Trustees, its Steering Committee and its other bodies.

Board and staff policies

The internal Board and staff policies of the source organization (codes of conduct, conflict of interest, travel and expenses, gifts, whistleblower protection and similar) are not copied as such: they regulate the internal life of another organization. The governance bodies of WikiDeal, and the policies that would regulate them, are intended to emerge through the soft transmission process and the future steering committee. This remains an open question: see Key questions and the list of non-migrated pages.
