Hello @pfeifferj, I've invited you to an intermediary org to transfer the repo pfeifferj/karpenter-provider-ibm-cloud to Kubernetes project. Once the repo is transfered to the intermediate org, I can then further migrate it into requested Kubernetes-sigs org.

Hello @viktoryatheone– could you please confirm if you have already signed the CNCF CLA?
If not, could you please do so before we can proceed with the migration. Thanks!
If you have concerns with signing the CLA and you do not wish to, we'll need to add a NOTICE file to the repo to document your contributions (example).

Thanks!

Repo is transferred – https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/karpenter-provider-ibm-cloud

PR to add GitHub teams for the new repo – #5907

PR to document new repo in k/community - kubernetes/community#8648

@pfeifferj, I have assumed that the new repo is going to be part of the existing Karpenter subproject. If it is going to be a new subproject itself, please let me know. Thanks!

Once above PRs are merged, the repo migration process is complete.
