Hi Yves,

I'm on a tablet on a plane at the moment, so I can't look up your status
right now, nor can I guarantee the accuracy of what I'll say, but this is
how reminders work, to my knowledge:

1 month prior, you get an email reminding you that your membership is up
for renewal soon, with the date given.

2 weeks prior, you get a second reminder that you're going to expire, with
the date.

The day of expiration, you get a notice of expiration.

I do not believe that there is any automated notification following
membership expiration right now.

I overhauled these reminders a few months ago because before, the reminders
would often not go out and the rules for sending reminders were shaky. Now,
as far as I can tell, they are solid and always get sent.

I have thought about occasional reminders, and I think in the past, one of
the other board members has sent out a bulk email, but there's a point in
there where it stops being helpful and starts being spam. I'm not certain
where that point is, to be honest.

What are everyone else's thoughts on the matter?
