a shorter period if specified in the rules of the co‑operative.
Subject to subsection (3), sections 123 and 124, the board of a co‑operative must declare the membership of a member cancelled if —

the member is not presently an active member of the co‑operative and has not been an active member of the co‑operative at any time during the required period immediately before that time.
Subsection (2) applies to a member only if he or she was a member of the co‑operative throughout the required period.
Whether a member was an active member at a particular time in the past is to be decided by reference to the active membership provisions in force at that time.
