Placing a small burden on an individual to renew rather than a massive
burden on the membership committee to evaluate hundreds of members for
"some reasonable amount of activity etc." seems an efficient division of
labor. Given the huge burdens our volunteers shoulder, it seems unlikely
to me that this "one more hassle", as you put it, is going to be a real
disincentive to participation.

Cheers,
