+# CNCF Project Archiving Process v1.0
+
+Open source projects have a lifecycle and there are times that projects become inactive due to a variety of reasons. There are also cases where a project may no longer want to be supported by the TOC, or the TOC may no longer wish to recommend the use of a project.
+
+## Archiving Criteria
+
+When voting on a proposal to archive a project, TOC members may wish to consider whether the project continues to meet the criteria for CNCF acceptance. The TOC may also look at activity levels in the project (https://all.devstats.cncf.io/d/53/projects-health-table?orgId=1), although it is important to note that there is a difference between a mature project that doesn't get much attention any more but is stable, versus a project that is inactive.
+
+## Voting Process
+
+To archive a project:
+
+* A proposal must be put forth to the TOC repo
+* The TOC will inform the project maintainers, CNCF end user community and wider community of all archiving proposals
+* The proposal must remain open for at least 2 weeks of discussion after the maintainers are informed.
+* A vote must be finalized with 2/3 approval from the TOC
+
+## Archiving Process
+
+What does archiving for a CNCF project mean?
+
+* CNCF will no longer provide support for the project via service desk
+* CNCF will list archived projects online
+* Trademarks and domain names of archived projects are still hosted by the CNCF and the Linux Foundation
+* CNCF can provide services such as documentation updates to help transition users.
+* Other CNCF marketing activities will no longer be provided for the project
+
+## Reactivating an Archived Project
+
+Any project can be reactivated into CNCF by following the normal project [proposal](https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/master/process/project_proposals.adoc) and/or [sandbox](https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/master/process/sandbox.md) process.
