We don't have such a system yet, but the plan is to switch to a new
database-based system which will allow an automatic mailing when a
member need to renew. Eric is working on this.

We should be able to test the system in one or two months and if
everything works fine, we will switch to it after the elections.

Thus it should be easier for us to make the renewals, even if they are
annual.

But for now, we're stuck with manual mailing for the renewals.
