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 Wu Apache SkyWalking, ShardingSphere, Zipkin Twitter, wusheng1108 ------------------ Original ------------------ From: "Liu Ted"<tedl...@yahoo.com.INVALID>; Date: Tue, Mar 5, 2019 02:12 PM To: "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
