   * It's important that the membership period name contains some indication that memberships are renewed every year, for example by including the month number in the opening and closing dates. Past evidence shows not every member or potential member is aware of the fact that memberships last one year. A membership period named "2020-2021" may be understood as covering both 2020 and 2021 (2 years), while a membership period named "03/2020-03/2021" makes it clear it's for one year and may be about to expire. Also, please note creating the membership period will nuke the current list of members and possibly their subscription to the members mailing list, which is why this step has to be performed after the previous emails have been sent. Otherwise, members subscribed only to the members mailing list will not get any notification about the need to renew their membership.
