Federation retirement and exit handling

Retirement at federation level is about handling inactive people, teams, and organizations without losing traceability.

What this step is for

This step explains how the federation should handle inactive records, expired workflows, and the end of active participation.

How it works

1. Decide what should remain visible historically.
2. Decide how inactive licenses and memberships are handled.
3. Preserve auditability for past seasons.
4. Remove only the access that should no longer remain active.
5. Keep old rankings and decisions understandable.

Common blockers

• Old records are hidden too aggressively.
• Access is removed before handover is complete.
• Historical decisions become impossible to explain later.

What success looks like

The federation can end activity cleanly without damaging audit history or future support.
