The Giver can only ask for release when he has given all his memories to Jonas. If he were to get released sooner, all the memories he had currently would be spread throughout the Community. Since the Community lives its life with no color, sound, feelings, or memories, if what the Giver had in his mind got released, the Community would turn to chaos. That is also why Jonas can't ask for release.
