[pianotech] Is this the work of an RPT?

Well, yes.  If you fail to meet your obligations as a member, the Guild will
not maintain your membership status for you.  Please don't place the "blame"
of losing your membership or your RPT status on the Guild when a member is
at fault.  And to be clear, while there are exceptions in the by-laws for
financial hardship and for re-instatement, the by-laws stipulate that if you
allow your membership to lapse, you also will lose your RPT classification.
 You would re-apply for membership as an Associate.  But again, this
responsibility rests squarely on the members and the organization can't be
held responsible for an individuals failure to bother with the requirements
of membership.

And remember, "the Guild" is you.  It's easy to think of the folks on the
board as some silly bureaucracy, but it's mostly made up of piano techs like
you, who VOLUNTEER their time to spend a lot of hours working to try and
make the organization better for all.  And it costs money to have an
organization that provides quality services for it's members.  Remember,
we're all on the same team here.
