	Each of the three levels would have a '''collegial executive''' (in the spirit of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directorial_system directorial system]) of '''5, 7 or 11 members, depending on the scale''' of what it governs. At the global level, the working hypothesis is '''11'''.

Each of the three levels would have a '''collegial executive''' (in the spirit of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directorial_system directorial system]) of '''5, 7 or 9 members, depending on the scale''' of what it governs. At the global level, the working hypothesis is '''9''', a number estimated for a country-scale institution; the exact figure remains open. What matters is the principle, not the number: an odd, manageable group size, building on existing institutional experience and reflection rather than reinventing the wheel. A Swiss anecdote illustrates this: the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Federal_Council Swiss Federal Council] has [https://www.admin.ch/gov/en/start/federal-council/members-of-the-federal-council.html 7 members]; proposals to enlarge it to nine members, argued to improve representation and concordance, have been repeatedly submitted to the Swiss Parliament without success, from a 2010 motion ([https://www.parlament.ch/fr/ratsbetrieb/suche-curia-vista/geschaeft?AffairId=20103129 motion 10.3129]) to a 2025 parliamentary initiative ([https://www.parlament.ch/fr/ratsbetrieb/suche-curia-vista/geschaeft?AffairId=20250424 initiative 25.424]): the reform never passed. WikiDeal would start from that assessment, with 9 as the working figure at the global level.

	The executives would be '''elected by the assembly of delegates''', the WikiDeal analogue of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Assembly_(Switzerland) Swiss Federal Assembly] electing the Federal Council.
