+# Hibernating
+
+A member that will be absent or busy for an extended period of time and not able
+to participate in the WG during that time should put themselves in "hibernation"
+state. During this hibernation period:
+
+- The member will be removed from the highfive rotation. New PRs will *not* be
+  assigned to them by the highfive bot.
+
+- The member will be removed from their GitHub teams'. `cc @rust-embedded/$team`
+  will *not* cc them.
+
+- The member name will be removed from the list of teams in the rust-embedded/wg
+  README, but they will be listed under the 'Hibernating' section of that
+  README.
+
+- The member will not be counted when computing the number of votes required to
+  reach majority on matters that concern the teams they are a member of. This
+  includes PRs labeled `T-all` that need a decision.
+
+To enter or leave the hibernation state the member will:
+
+- Notify their teams (e.g. `cc @rust-embedded/$team`) and send a PR to
+  rust-embedded/wg updating the README to reflect their hibernation state.
