Council on Resolutions

 

The Council on Resolutions meets online every year to vote on proposed resolutions and urgent enactments. Resolutions are requests to the Board or the Trustees to take an action that is outside the purview of the constitutional documents. Ideally, a resolution should affect the Rotary world, rather than address local or administrative issues. An urgent enactment is a change to the constitutional documents, proposed by the RI Board, that the Board has determined cannot wait until the next Council on Legislation, which is held every three years.

Representatives from all Rotary districts vote on items proposed by clubs, districts, the RI Board, and the general council or conference of RIBI. Adopted resolutions are then considered by the RI Board or The Rotary Foundation Trustees. Urgent enactments that have been adopted will amend the constitutional documents, and will take effect one month after the Council on Resolutions report has been sent.

Council on Legislation

Every three years the District representatives from around the world gather to vote on Rotary enactments (legislation).  If you have questions or your Club would like to submit a proposed resolution voted on by your Club before the June 30 deadline each year, please reach out to PDG Rick Debe, COL Representative for District 6270 for guidance.

Council representatives

Each Rotary district chooses a representative for a three-year term. These members represent their districts at all three meetings of the Council on Resolutions and at the Council on Legislation during their term.

District governors have until 30 June 2023 to report to Rotary their district representatives for the term covering 1 July 2023 through 30 June 2026. Representatives will participate in the:

  • 2023, 2024, and 2025 Councils on Resolutions
  • 2025 Council on Legislation
