will his/her parts be deleted from the library and do we have to recreate them?

I think this hasn't been totally decided yet; the last I heard, SteerCo was
still discussing it amongst itself.  The two front-runner options are:

1. Possibly have two separate distros, one for 'compliant' and one for
'non-compliant'.  The non-compliant library would be static, with all new
development going into the 'compliant' library.

2. Leave non-CA files in the library, but be sure not to mark them as CA.

Both of these methods have their own challenges, I encourage authors (especially
non-active authors) to take the time to sign their agreement to the agreement.
In case you missed Orion's announcement, here's how to agree to the terms:

If you know that you have a part in the official library or if you currently
have Parts Tracker Submit rights to the Parts Tracker, please contact Orion
(orion@say.no.to.spam.ldraw.org) via email with your affirmation.  This email
should read:

"I accept the LDraw.org Contributor Agreement with regards to all past and
future contributions I make to LDraw.org"
