RI MEETINGS

Proposals: MD Comment: Comments from Others Vote:
222) To request the RI Board to consider recommending that the annual convention end no later than 14/16 June - currently, the convention can be held anytime before 1 July.
 
The proposal gives not reason for this, and I don't see one.  

223) To allow the RI Board to adopt changes to a convention program - puts approval of the convention program in the hands of the board, rather than the convention where it is a formality in any case. Yes, let's streamline the convention.  

224) To request the RI Board to consider lowering the convention registration fee for Rotarians within the sponsoring district The loss of revenue has to be made up someplace.  The convention is required to have a balanced budget.  
225) To change the name of Zone Institutes to Rotary Institutes and to include reference to them in the RI Bylaws.  This board proposal would rename Zone institutes, but would also such institutes to be held for RI itself.
 
RI can have their institutes and the zone have its.  Why blur the difference by calling them all by the same name?  
226) To request the RI Board to consider holding a Rotary Peace Forum that includes Rotarians from the eastern and western countries - this proposal from Argentina requests that the Board hold a "Peace Forum" in Switzerland.
 
 
Let me know what you think.
