Marvin I would love to accept your help in retiring the podling. I'll close out the trademark issue with the community in parallel.

There's a guide: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3a%2f%2fincubator.apache.org%2fguides%2fretirement&data=01%7c01%7cRoss.Gardler%40microsoft.com%7ceceac54df6424746927008d2f9eef802%7c72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7c1&sdata=Z%2biD5gyv57yHj7B8%2fZHs5oVafFPRiYS%2bPqD1B2BmPok%3d I've been assisting various podlings with retirement lately (Droids, Kalumet, Corinthia), and I'd be happy to help with Ripple as well. (I plan to rework the retirement guide, so have been gathering experience.) According to the guide, the next step is that the podling "should" run a VOTE on the dev list. Since there has been prominent discussion on Ripple's dev list with the word "retire" in the subject, though, arguably the entire community has been informed and the podling dev list VOTE can be skipped[1]. After that, the next steps are to run an IPMC VOTE on general@incubator and then follow the guide for closing down resources. I can handle all that if you like -- just let me know. The one thing that isn't covered in the guide is the trademark issue. I see you're on top of that, though. Marvin Humphrey [1] The retirement guide drones on endlessly on this topic -- around half of it is dedicated to defining the circumstances under which the podling dev list VOTE can be skipped.
