Thank you for this report.

We have identified the problem:  Invoices for the 2016 year have already been issued, but they are only due for payment in January 2016.  As you would expect, only a few members have paid their 2016 invoices so early.

However, the automated system that checks for unpaid invoices did not understand that some unpaid invoices are normal, when the invoices are not yet due for payment.  It therefore marked almost all members as “not in good standing”.

The software issue will be corrected as soon as possible.
