As District 9685 representative to the Council on Legislation, I want to thank the many Rotarians and Clubs that provided comment and feedback on both the 2021 Resolutions and the 2022 Enactments. I very much value your input to our legislative process. The results of the 2021 Resolutions are now available, as is the report of action on the 2020 Council on Resolutions. Next up will be preliminary voting, known as Vetting, and then the actual Council on Legislation in April 2022. Your club will receive an email with further information on the Council on Legislation.
2021 Council on Resolutions The results for the 2021 Council on Resolutions (COR) are now available and have been posted here. These will now go to the RI Board for consideration and action. The Board has a very full agenda and it can take some time for the resolutions to make it to the table. The action on the 2020 resolutions has been released and this will give you an idea of the approach taken by the Trustees and Board.
Trustee and Board Action on Items Adopted by the 2020 COR The 2020 COR referred a number of items to the RI Board and the TRF Trustees for further action. The RI Board and the TRF Trustees considered these items and their decisions have been summarised here.
