[[Abandonment]] is simply leaving all the UFGQ in-world groups, with or without comments. [[Retirement]] is smoothly transitioning out of your routine participation, while maintaining your rank, honors, rights and privileges with no expected return date. [[Leave of absence]] is halting your routine participation, yet maintaining your rank, honors, rights and privileges with a specific stated return date. Resignation is immediately making a change in your participation.<br> |
