Zoning issues debated on final day of Council: Results for 27 April
By Tonya Weger
Rotary International News
CHICAGO - After covering all of the enactments from the previous
days, Rotarian delegates worked through the remaining 65 resolutions
at the 2007 Council on Legislation on Friday, 26 April. They also
held firm to initial decisions in three highly debated motions that
were presented for reconsideration.
Zoning issues, a hot topic throughout the week, resurfaced.
Resolution 07-174 was referred to the RI Board for consideration of
worldwide rezoning to give all zones an approximately equal number of
Rotarians. Seunggi Paik, of District 3640 (Korea), told the
Council, "I stand here to support this resolution to keep fairness
for all." Echoes of the previous day's Council session resonated as
he spoke of democracy and equality for all. "Some zones have
population difficulties - fairness is a basic principle," he said.
The following resolution, 07-175, which requested the RI Board to
consider realigning districts currently located in two zones so that
each district is located in only one zone, was approved.
Additionally, with item 07-177 the Council requested the RI Board to
consider reorganizing Zone 5 into three sections, instead of the
present two sections. Zone 5 covers Nepal and parts of India.
Among other matters, the Council also requested that the RI Board
consider including Hindi [07-213] and Russian [07-219] as official
languages. Debates weighed need verses translation costs.
The Council also showed its desire for Rotary to be more cost
effective by passing resolution 07-180, which requests the RI Board
to consider finding more efficient and less expensive ways to
communicate with Rotary clubs.
Three proposed enactments failed to be reconsidered by the Council.
They were to increase the number of members on the nominating
committee for RI president [07-231], to increase the number of
directors from 17 to 18 and revise the criteria for setting zone
boundaries [07-173], and to amend the definition of defective
legislation to include resolutions that require or request an
administrative act [07-311].
Overall, the Council addressed some 337 items that were brought
forward by delegates coming from throughout Rotary's 532 districts
worldwide.
"It was a busy and rewarding week and a productive Council on
Legislation," said Council Chair John F. Germ in his closing
comments. "I congratulate you on a great week of hard, dedicated
work. What we have done here will have a great impact on Rotary."

activities.

Council wants more democratic processes and transparency: Results
from 26 April
By Tonya Weger
Rotary International News
CHICAGO - The 2007 Council on Legislation debated enactment proposals
Thursday, 26 April, changing several aspects of the organization's
constitution.
Representatives from 530 Rotary districts around the world debated
passionately about key issues, focusing both on present needs within
Rotary, while taking into account what has worked during its solid
century of service.
Key issues revealed the need for more democratic processes and
transparency in Rotary business matters.
For instance, Shigekazu Miyazaki proposed enactment 07-357 on behalf
of District 2650 (Japan), saying, "Clubs and districts have a right
to know about deliberations of the Board." He said the RI Board
should communicate results of considered resolutions with district
governors and ensure the posting of determinations on the Rotary
International Web site.
While enactments change the RI Constitution, resolutions are sent to
the board for further review upon recommendation of the Council. This
shall take place within one year of the conclusion of the Council.
Additionally, the rules for selecting an RI president-nominee were
amended in ruling 07-228. Driving this determination was the desire
to ensure that the best qualified Rotarian would be selected for RI's
elective offices. The items states that any effort to influence the
selection process in a positive or negative manner by campaigning,
canvassing, or electioneering would be prohibited.
This enactment also changes the deadlines for the election of members
to the nominating committee for RI president. Furthermore, this
enactment would also change the deadline for eligible Rotarians to
notify the general secretary that they are willing to be considered
for nomination for the office of RI president from 31 August to 30
June and provide that the nominating committee for RI president would
meet no later than 15 August.
Enactment 07-269, which centers on provisions regarding election
complaints and proposing challenging candidates for the office of RI
director, failed. In debate, District 7490's (New Jersey, USA)
William F. Rupp deemed the motion as "inappropriate," noting the need
for democratic process.
With enactment 07-357, the Council voted to require the RI Board to
announce the results of deliberations for adopted resolutions. This
item requires the RI Board to notify all governors of RI Board
actions taken as a result of resolutions adopted at a Council on
Legislation. This shall take place within one year of the conclusion
of the Council.
On Friday, 27 April, the Council enters its fifth and final day of
voting, with 65 resolutions and three motions of consideration
remaining.
