+# resolution 045: automatic membership pause
+
+topic: automatic membership pause
+date: 2026-09-03
+deadline: 2026-09-17
+size: large
+
+## Problem
+
+According to [Resolution 001](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/resolutions/passed/001/) a Large decision requires "more than 50% of total number of federation members 👍 votes". This works well as long as enough members are active. But as with every organisation it is normal that that some members become inactive at some point.
+
+## Resolution
+
+If a member does not give a vote for the last 3 resolutions its membership will be paused automatically. Paused memberships are not counted in the total 👍 votes required for a large resolution. The membership gets active again once they give their next vote. If a member sees that another member is inactive they can update their status on the website. If a member status was inactive for one year its membership is automatically canceled.
