The meetup group is marked as “Retired” in the Meetup.com directory.

WordPress no longer pays the dues for the account since WordPress is no longer the owner of the group. Since there are no other organizers, no one will be charged dues until another member becomes the organizer.
If a group becomes active again, and the new or now-active organizers would like to re-join the chapter, they should complete the Meetup Interest Form.
