1. Re-districting within Rotary GB&I and suspension of the 2015-2016 District Governor Election
During the Rotary Year 2012-2013, Rotary GB&I is to commence talks and consultation on re-districting. The aim is to make the division of Districts within Rotary GB&I more equitable and is likely to reduce the number of Districts.
A committee has been set up to consider this matter and a plan will be presented during 2012-2013 with the aim of beginning implentation during 2013-2014. Clubs may be interested to know that DGN Kate Keter is a member of this committee as a representative of the 2013-2014 District Governors. Further information will follow as it becomes available.
In the meantime, we have been asked to suspend temporarily the appointment of a DG for the Rotary Year 2015-2016 which should be no later than the end of this calendar year.
