Step-by-step procedures: what you need, when to do them, and what can go wrong.
A procedure

- The review date or the agreed close date.
How to do it
- Announce the close at least one meeting ahead.
- Read the charter's closing clause.
- Hold a final meeting or ritual.
- Archive the charter and the record; remove the sigil from public view.
- Release the members from the feeding schedule.

What you need
- The charter
- The shared sigil
- The record
- A closing message
A worked example
The Saturn Room holds a final Sunday meeting, archives the charter, removes the pinned sigil and posts the closing note.
What can go wrong
- The group dissolves without a close.
- The sigil remains public and the feeding continues informally.
- The steward carries the close alone.
Background
Keeping a record
A closing note, an archived charter and a closed status.
