Allow event registration within grace period, for members with past renewal date
Since the March 2017 release, this was implemented: "For existing members, member-specific registration types are only available if their renewal date is not in the past. This applies to members with statuses of Active, Pending - Renewal, and Pending - Level change. This prevents existing members whose membership is not paid up from using member-specific registration types."
WA provides for a Grace Period defined at the "membership level". The "no event registration" for member-specific registration types should be set after the grace period is up, NOT AT "PAST DUE" . That is the meaning of Grace Period for many organizations.

Looking at this further - if an organization chooses not to enable this policy, non-paying members will still be blocked from registering once their status becomes Lapsed.

We are trying to implement the online renewal process. Our members remain in good standing for two months past the renewal date.
So for us this is a bug. As is, we simply can't use member-only registration at all from the date we send out the invoice until we drop unpaid members.
The renewal process needs to accommodate organizations with policies like ours and Ines's.
Unfortunately it's not simple, because other organizations may want to prevent registration until renewal dues are paid. This needs to be an option for each organization.
(Where to put it is unclear. Maybe on the Settings | Events page, which now has no settings.)
