I can only say what my own reaction would be , and that is: lacking any other 
direction from the membership committee or board of directors, I would assume 
that my membership would be extended, or at least I would be told to ante up a 
partial years dues. I'll bet we have a significant factor here on why there were 
so many drops.

Some sort of policy statement would be appropriate. People tend to fill in 
vacuums with answers that best suit THEM...
