# §1000.135. May a Consortium member Tribe withdraw from the Consortium and be selected to participate in Self-Governance?


In accordance with the expressed terms of the compact or written agreement of the Consortium, a Consortium member Tribe (either a signatory or nonsignatory Tribe) may fully or partially withdraw from a participating Consortium its share of any program included in a compact or funding agreement to directly negotiate a compact and funding agreement. The withdrawing Tribe must do the following:

- (a) Independently meet all of the eligibility criteria in [§§ 1000.115 through 1000.140](/cfr/25/1000.115..1000.140.md). If a Consortium's planning activities specifically consider self-governance activities for a member Tribe, that planning activity may be used to satisfy the planning requirements for the member Tribe if it applies for self-governance status on its own.
- (b) Submit a notice of withdrawal to OSG and the Consortium as evidenced by a resolution of the Tribal governing body.
