We've actually run this after the last few board elections. An email is sent out to anyone who didn't vote and they can indicate they still wish to remain a contributing member by clicking a link in the members interface. Our active membership have all done so since the board election in July 2018 - the most recent clean up was performed in September 2018. Details of the first time this was run can be found in the 2016 Annual Report: https://spi-inc.org/corporate/annual-reports/2016.pdf which took us from 517 contributing members down to 246. Lack of turnout in this vote was not due to members who are no longer around.
