# Close Meeting and Recruitment Work on Dissolution

## What It Does

Staff or a carried charter decision dissolves a committee. Dissolution’s database changes commit together. Its silent meeting cancellation is deliberate; it differs from a normal staff cancellation. This does not imply that already held meetings or final governance records are erased.

## The Flow

```mermaid
flowchart TD
  H1["End active or paused series at the dissolution date, retaining an earlier existing end."]

  H2["Cancel draft or scheduled meetings after the dissolution date without notices, preserving earlier, in-progress"]
  H3["Cancel draft or open openings and withdraw pending nominations and their pending slate decisions."]
  H1 --> H2
  H2 --> H3
```

End active or paused series at the dissolution date, retaining an earlier existing end. Cancel draft or scheduled meetings after the dissolution date without notices, preserving earlier, in-progress and ended meetings. Cancel draft or open openings and withdraw pending nominations and their pending slate decisions.

## When Something Fails

Abort the whole dissolution. No partial series cleanup. Roll back the enclosing dissolution. No partial meeting cleanup. Roll back the enclosing dissolution. No partial recruitment cleanup.

## Open Design Questions

Dissolution’s database changes commit together. Its silent meeting cancellation is deliberate; it differs from a normal staff cancellation. This does not imply that already held meetings or final governance records are erased.
