Rotary Information: 
 

Council On Legislation: In the early days of Rotary, any change in the RI Bylaws or Constitution was proposed and voted upon at the annual convention. As attendance at conventions increased and open discussion became more difficult, a Council on Legislation was created in 1934 as an advisory group to debate and analyze proposals before they were voted on by the convention.

Finally, at the 1970 Atlanta convention, it was decided that the Council on Legislation would actually become the legislative or parliamentary body of Rotary. The council is composed of one delegate from each Rotary district and well as several ex-officio members. It was agreed that the council would meet every three years at a time other than the RI Convention.

The council has the responsibility of considering and acting upon all "enactments," which are proposed changes in the Rotary International Bylaws and Constitution and the Standard Rotary Club Constitution, and "resolutions," which are recommendations to the RI Board for policy, program, and procedural changes. Proposals may be submitted by any Rotary club, district, or the RI Board. The council's actions are subject to review by all the Rotary clubs of the world before they become final. If 10 percent of the voting strength of the clubs oppose a council action, such legislation is suspended and it is submitted to all the clubs for a final vote.

The Council on Legislation provides the membership of Rotary with a democratic process for legislative change in the operations of Rotary International
.

KGM Note: A number of new resolutions were adopted at the last Council On Legislation, and The Phantom is currently reviewing them to see which ones will affect the daily operation of our club. Full details will be provided in a future issue of Golden News.
