Yes. Even I don't want to see leave, no matter retire or original team leave. But that is an option. Please don't feel the ASF or Incubator would lock-in. They act as individuals, they could choose. ------------------ Sheng Wu Apache SkyWalking, ShardingSphere, Zipkin Twitter, wusheng1108 ------------------ Original ------------------ From: "Liu Ted"<tedl...@yahoo.com.INVALID>; Date: Tue, Mar 5, 2019 02:49 PM To: "????

But I hope this would not happen.Such as the community doesn't think the ASF fits their requirements(not common case), or retire from incubator because of leaking activities for a long time. > After becoming a TLP, can this TLP still have the right to voluntarily > withdraw? I assume you said TLP has right, it means the original contributor team(or company) has right. Correct me if I am wrong.During the incubator and graduate successfully, the PMC of TLP should be diversity,new PMC/committer should join the community because of it is open sourced, some may because trusting ASF.If your withdraw means close sources, even it just means open out of ASF,I doubt it will success from the PMC vote. Just my thought:) It is really rare to have this, except retirement, which happens sometimes, sadly. ------------------Sheng WuApache SkyWalking, ShardingSphere, ZipkinTwitter, wusheng1108 ------------------ Original ------------------From: "Liu Ted"<tedl...@yahoo.com.INVALID>;Date: Tue, Mar 5, 2019 02:12 PMTo: "Incubator General"<general@incubator.apache.org>;Subject: Withdraw from Incubator or TLP status? Hi, A couple of questions are raised from a project who is interested in donating to ASF and entering the ASF Incubator: 1. In the incubation period, because of some special matters, is it also entitled to voluntarily withdraw? 2. After becoming a TLP, can this TLP still have the right to voluntarily withdraw? I searched thru the policies and guidances but cannot find the answers. Could anyone shed some light here? Best regards, Ted Liu, ASF Member & Sponsor Ambassador
