**NOTE:** This page about the compact is here for historical purposes. On 2021-05-13 [[Taerie]] sent the following email to the email list, to which there were no replies. I think we might take that as a proposal (see [[decision making]]) to which there were no objections.

> Dear all,

> I am writing to you on behalf of the "Dissolution the compact" council.
> 
> It is my pleasure to inform you all that the Ensemble Compact is no longer valid.
> 
> As the document was never functional, and the main reason it was drafted in the first place was adding new members, which we did by osmosis anyway -
> and as it has been mentioned at a couple of meetings already and discussed over at discord, I have decided not to write to all current consignees to formally unsign the document. If anyone objects, please let me know, but also please don't, I want to keep the thing buried now.
> If you have no idea what I am talking about, ignore this email altogether.
> 
> I have taken out some ideas and/or questions that arose while discussing the document, which I will bring to the "ikigai" council, to see if any of those are still worth discussing.

> Much love to all of you,
