This is dependent upon your proposal passing. Your proposal says changes don't apply until the following nweek.  That gives players the chance to leave before the changes take effect.  So no one can sneak up on any "defenseless players" with a Dues requirement.  And with my On Leave change that you dismissed, no one can sneak up on any On Leave players either.
