Technically, you have to be a resident of North Carolina to be a member 
of TriLUG.  So, once you are no longer considered a resident by the 
state, you are no longer a member.  It is my understanding that TriLUG 
has no enforced policies on how to revoke membership, but as far as the 
state of NC is concerned (the state is relevant, as that's where the 
requirement comes from, as part of the non-profit organization 
requirements/status), you are no longer a member of TriLUG.  What TriLUG 
chooses to do with things such as your shell account is another matter.

Being on the mailman membership database for the trilug mailing list 
does not make you a member of TriLUG.  Never has, never will.  Anyone, 
anywhere, can subscribe to the list and be active.  Unless you are in 
the TriLUG membership database (which is different than the mailman 
database), you are not a member of TriLUG.

Anything beyond that, the current SC will need to comment on.  These are 
my understanding of the rules, nothing more.
