  1. 1407: ICUFR facilitates discussion with Trustee Carolyn Jones 
 Wed Nov 14, 2007 6:02 pm (PST) 
In celebration of `Rotary Foundation Month', the International
Computer Users Fellowship of Rotarians (ICUFR) is sponsoring an
on-line discussion with Rotary Foundation Trustee Carolyn Jones.
Trustee Jones, the first female Trustee in the 90 year history of The
Rotary Foundation, will answer your questions about the Foundation
on-line during a 51 hour period beginning at 5:00 P.M., CST, on
Sunday, November 25th and ending at 8:00 P.M. CST on Tuesday, November
27, 2007. This free-wheeling, informative discussion with Trustee
Jones will take place on the ICUFR's `COMMUNITY FORUM' at
http://www2.icufr.org. (Please note the "www2" in the address.)

The on-line discussion will start with a short posting by the Chairman
of the ICUFR, introducing Trustee Jones and telling you some of her
background and Rotary interests. For the next 51 hours, all registered
users of the Community Forum may post questions to Trustee Jones and
she will periodically respond to the questions during the allotted
time. For Rotarians not already registered at the ICUFR's Community
Forums, you must register in order to post in the Forum (you may enter
as a `guest' and read the discussion in the Community Forum but will
not be able to `post' without registering). You can register, at any
time, by clicking on `Register' at the top section of the opening page
of the Community Forums (http://www2.icufr.org) . A `Terms' page will
next appear and, once you accept the terms, you will automatically go
to the `Registration' page. Please complete all `required'
information. When you register, please make sure you make a personal,
private record of the `User Name' and `Password' you decide to use
when registering in the Community Forums.

Additionally information for a `Profile' is optional. However, please
use your full name as your ID, and additionally, in the 'Profile',
please put in your Club Name and District number. This is necessary to
be sure we do not get non-Rotarians registered. After you register,
you may get an email asking you to confirm your registration. Just
follow the instructions in the email, if one is received. Registering
for the Community Forums carries no obligation, and you will not be
placed on an email list as a result of registering, unless you post to
the Community Forum and indicate that you wish to receive email
notices to responses to your post.

We suggest you go to the ICUFR's Community Forums now, register and
then poke around for a while to get a `feel' for the Community Forums.
Post a message or two in any of the section and topics, make some
friends, and be ready for the discussion with Trustee Carolyn Jones.
On Sunday, November 25th, on or after 5:00 P.M. CST, you can log into
the ICUFR's Community Forums, and be ready to go. Scroll down to `HOT
TOPICS', click on `The Rotary Foundation' and then click on
`Discussion with Trustee Carolyn Jones. Then fire away with your
questions about The Rotary Foundation, the role of Carolyn Jones as
the first female Trustee, or any related question you may have.

We sincerely will appreciate you passing this message along to other
Rotarians. Please post it on your district or club web site, publish
it in your district and club newsletter, and forward it to all
Rotarians in your email address book. In the meantime, if you have any
questions, you can ask them in the ICUFR's COMMUNITY FORUMS in the
`Computer Help and Ideas' section under the topic of `Help Using this
Forum', or, alternatively, write to Dan Mooers at dwm at mooers-law.com
and he'll help with your questions.

See you on-line on Sunday, November 25th. COME CELEBRATE ROTARY
FOUNDATION MONTH !

2. 1408: Board acts on new-member reporting

Board acts on new-member reporting 
Rotary International News 

At its October/November meeting, the RI Board agreed to establish a 
timeline for clubs to report their new members. The Board made this 
change to facilitate the 2007 Council on Legislation's action to 
change to a monthly collection cycle for prorated RI membership dues.

Under the new system, every Rotarian pays for each full month of club 
membership. For example, a new member who joins the club on the 1st 
of the month pays dues beginning with that month, but a member joins 
on the 3rd pays dues beginning with the next month. New members must 
be reported within six months of joining their Rotary club.

In other action, the Board voted to

Adopt a new RI privacy statement that assures transparency in how RI 
collects, retains, and uses Rotarians' personal information. 
Discontinue RI's membership zone coordinator position and increase 
the number of regional RI membership coordinators, effective 1 July 
2008. 
Request financial statements of revenues and expenditures from any 
unofficial Rotary program, group, or entity using "Rotary" in its 
name. 
Affirm the Rotary Foundation Trustees decision to require the 
signatures of both the district governor and district Rotary 
Foundation committee chair for use of the District Designated Fund
