Highlights of actions taken by the Rotary International Board of Directors

July 2010 Board Meeting Highlights
The 2010-11 RI Board held its first meeting on 25-26 June 2010 in Montreal,
Canada. 

Club and District Matters 

To encourage participation in multidistrict PETs, the Board authorized
districts that have not attended such seminars within the previous five
years to initiate or join an existing multidistrict PETS for a single year
without first obtaining the consent of two-thirds of the clubs involved (as
required policy) provided the incoming governors responsible for planning
the proposed multidistrict PETS unanimously agree.

The Board amended its policy regarding club voting strength in district
elections to require the governor to notify clubs in the district at least
15 days before the balloting regarding the number of votes to which the club
is entitled.

Recognizing that governors have extensive responsibilities in managing and
administering the clubs in their districts, the Board broadened their
expense categories eligible for reimbursement from RI. Current governors
will be provided details via email.

RI Administration and Finances 

The Board welcomed the appointment of Thomas M. Thorfinnson as 2010-11 RI
vice president, K.R. Ravindran as 2010-11 treasurer, and elected John Blount
as chair of its executive committee. The Board confirmed its election of
Stephen R. Brown, Dong Kurn Lee, Anne L. Matthews, and Kazuhiko Ozawa as
Rotary Foundation trustees.

On recommendation of President Klinginsmith, the Board established the
2010-11 RI committees and resource group, and approved their terms of
reference. The Board agreed that zones 1, 5, 9, 14, 18, 23, 25, 28, and 31
shall select committees in 2010-11 to nominate RI directors for election at
the 2012 RI convention.

The Board confirmed the 2010-11 RI budget with revenues of US$84,938,000 and
expenses of US$84,054,000, and further approved The Rotary Foundation's
2010-11 budget of US$93,157,000 million for Foundation programs that are
funded with unrestricted Annual Programs Fund contributions. 

International Meetings 

Rotarians, alumni, and guests will be able to purchase one-day passes for
New Orleans convention activities on Saturday, 21 May.
