ROTARY's 2001 COUNCIL ON LEGISLATION (COL) has been convened as of Sunday, April 22nd in Chicago, IL, with Kenneth Keene, Past District Governor - 1993-1994, representing District 6560. PDG Keene reports that the COL is
convening in Chicago to reshape Rotary for the future. Delegates from every Rotary District around the world have gathered for the single purpose of enacting changes
in policies and procedures, some 1,400 proposals were proposed and COL requested to consider 622 that will affect every Club. He has been making regular
reports to BILL HATFIELD, who has E-mailed them to the Editor. The following are some of the approved changes which the Editor feels you may find interesting: (1)
Types of membership have been reduced to "active" and "honorary"; (2) Club now permitted to cancel up to four meetings per year, in addition to holiday observances,
but no more than three of these may be consecutive; (3) Club may officially grant makeup credit for attending a Club sponsored community event or meeting or a
Club Board or service committee meeting; (4) A Club's Board may determine the conditions and circumstances under which a member's absence may be excused;
(5) New Clubs may be organized in the same locality as another existing Club without seeking permission of that Club; (6) Clubs are now precluded from limiting
membership based on gender; (7) Future COL meetings must be held in the vicinity of RI World Headquarters to save costs; (8) Expenses for future COL
representatives will be met by collecting $1.00 per Rotary year; (9) RI Board has been asked to consider "Youth Service" as a fifth Avenue of Service; (10) Duties of
District Governors have been changed to get in line with language of district leadership plan; (11) Automatic termination of membership has been removed for
missing four consecutive meetings and failing to attend 60% of the regular meetings (Club boards now will notify offending members that they are in jeopardy of being
terminated); and (12) Regular meetings now can be cancelled for reason of any member's death. RESUME OF ADOPTED LEGISLATION - 2001 Council on Legislation of Rotary
