Note: addendum to an existing by-law PURPOSE AND EFFECT
When the Council of Past Presidents was created at the Association’s Business Meeting, the purpose of the resolution stated that one of its activities was that a “a smaller body of Past Presidents may be called upon to assist RIBI with a specific issue and particularly act as mediators in matters involving clubs, districts and officers. Te Past Presidents would be chosen for their specific knowledge of or expertise in the subject at issue”. Tis proposal would regularise the procedure. Te proposed panel’s decision could include referral to the relevant District Governor or to the Board of Rotary International in the event of a non-functioning club.
