Retired (AU status) - MetaArchive/public-documentation GitHub Wiki

Retired (AU status) When a Content Provider decides to discontinue preserving an archival unit it is marked with the status 'Retired' in Conspectus. When an AU is marked as 'Retired,' nodes no longer conduct polling and voting on the AU. However, the AU continues to exist in the network. Only super users can assign the 'Preserved' and 'Retired' status.
