ii) is delinquent in the payment to STYSA of any registration fees, fines or other fees; or

iii) fails or refuses to comply with the authority of STYSA, shall be considered to lose good standing and shall have its voting rights automatically suspended until such rights are reinstated by a simple majority vote of the Governing Board.
