CB.11:4.6 - Settle the arrangement that is ending

Review the actual remaining commitments with their receivers. Complete, transfer, cancel or renegotiate each one through the applicable arrangement. Paid bookings, promised feedback, borrowed equipment and unresolved participant matters can need different actions. A general closure announcement does not settle them.

Decide what remains accessible and who, if anyone, maintains it. Preserve useful methods, explanations and contact routes only with the permissions and provision needed for that use. Identify obsolete guidance as such where a reader could otherwise rely on it. A maintained public resource and an unmaintained historical archive serve different purposes.

Settle funds, resource access and credentials with the people who hold the corresponding authority. Follow the existing terms for unused contributions or shared property. Obtain a qualified decision where those terms are unresolved; the organiser should not invent a right to distribute or retain them.

Tell affected people what has ended, what remains usable and where the last unresolved work belongs. A final gathering or acknowledgement can help people recognise their shared contribution when they want it. It is not a condition that someone must satisfy before leaving.

Close the promised work at the scope actually achieved. An activity can end successfully after supplying its useful result. Relationships or cultural practice may continue elsewhere; say what has been arranged or observed and leave unobserved continuation open.
