hm. I see two solutions.

One is to update the bylaws and the places where the current period
scheme is used. It might be messy to implement that new rule in raw SQL
and other languages that are currently used though. Or make it a bigger
overhaul and redesign the current membership table and the software
around it.

The other might simply be to not create or renew memberships in May or June.
