Further Information On The RIBI Re-Districting Proposals
And The Implications For District 1080
Following the District Council meeting on the 11th October, at which I
outlined the proposed re-districting of RIBI and its effect on this district,
Version 2 of the proposal was recently made available and this
accompanies this message.
At the District Conference and over the last two weeks, a lot of concerns
have been raised as to exactly how the Re-Districting will affect our
existing District. To that end I asked DGN Nick Corke, Foundation Chair
PDG Steve Munns and District Treasurer Keith Bosanko to prepare some
facts and figures to help you decide whether or not the proposal is
acceptable as it now stands.
Background:
At their September 2011 meeting, the RI Board members approved the
concept of the development of three-year regional membership
development and retention plans. This is in acknowledgement of the vast
regional differences amongst Rotary clubs and regions, as well as a means
of encouraging and supporting continuity and consistency in establishing
goals, strategies and actions. In RIBI, there are 29 Districts with 1,859
Clubs and just under 54,000 Rotarians. The largest District has just over
3,000 Rotarians and the smallest just over 1,000. The numbers of Clubs
in Districts range from 88 to 41. Almost 10% of the Clubs in RIBI have
fewer than 15 members with only one District having no Clubs below 15
members.
Methodology to be used:
Wherever possible, the re-districting was to be based on the use of
existing recognised geographical areas and boundaries, such as Counties,
Boroughs, or administrative regions; currently there are examples of
Counties where four Districts have Clubs. Using these administrative areas
will, it is hoped, enable a district to be described to the public by locally
recognisable names rather than a number.
Extract from the RI Manual of Procedure 2012 (MoP)
“Districting”
The RI Board is authorized to establish new districts, consolidate
districts, and change the boundaries of existing districts. No
change in district boundaries of any districts with 30 or more clubs
and 1,000 or more Rotarians shall be made by the RI Board over
the objection of a majority of the clubs in the district or districts
that would be affected. The RI Board may eliminate or change the
boundaries of any district with fewer than 30 clubs or fewer than
1000 Rotarians (fewer than 33 clubs or 1200 Rotarians as of 1
July 2012.
THE IMPLICATIONS FOR DISTRICT 1080
As it stands at the moment, and if these proposals were implemented
tomorrow, we would lose 6 clubs and 180 members, i.e. 8.34% of our
membership. This would mean a reduction of our income of £3,150 and a
reduction in our RIBI Grant of £1,064. Bearing in mind that there would
probably not be a reduction in expenses, the District would need to raise a
further £2.00 per member in order to make up the difference.
If, on the other hand, as has been suggested by various District Officers,
we go back to the RIBI Re-Districting Committee with an alternative
proposal that our boundary is re-positioned strictly by County (i.e. Suffolk,
Norfolk and Cambridgeshire), we would lose 5 clubs but gain 11, giving us
a net gain of 171 members. This would be much more in line with the RI
requirement for 2500 members per district and will remove the effect
that, at a time when Districts are intended to be strengthened in
numbers, this District would be weakened to a level some 20% below
optimum.
We have a severe time constraint with this proposal, which means that we
have to get our collective views back to the RIBI Re-districting Committee
by the 9th November. I appreciate this time scale is very short, but it is
essential that all comments to the Re-districting Committee be in by that
date. Therefore, because of my absence in America on business, I am
asking clubs to let DGN Nick Corke know by 5th November whether or not
you support the RIBI Re-districting proposal in its present form or whether
you wish for the alternative District proposal to be put forward. There will
be an article on this in the November issue of 1080 News, which will be
out on November 1st. Please bear in mind the MoP, which quite clearly
states that RI cannot alter boundaries if a majority do not wish it to
happen.
If the majority of the clubs in District 1080 object to the Version 2
proposal, we will submit our alternative County Boundary proposal
to the Re-districting Committee by the 9 th November for
consideration.
Currently, there is a lot of pressure and turmoil across the whole of RIBI,
together with emotive responses to the re-districting changes being
proposed. In District 1080, I much prefer that our approach should be
viewed as being constructive in our arguments for change with a well
reasoned alternative proposal being tabled.

RE–DISTRICTING OF RIBI FROM 2015
Please read the separate commentary on the proposals by the District
Governor that accompanies this sheet before voting.
This is a postal ballot of all clubs to ascertain the position that the District
Governor should indicate to the RIBI Re-Districting Committee and should
adopt at the next meeting of the General Council of RIBI. It is essential
that every club votes so that the true feeling of the district may be
reflected.
The Proposal that you are being asked to consider is whether to
accept the proposed new District of 71 Clubs with the consequent
adverse effects to District 1080 as shown in the Version 2
proposal posted on the RIBI website on 12 October 2012 and
accompanying this form.
Please print out this form and indicate your club’s position (a maximum of
two boxes to be ticked). Then complete your club name and sign and
date, where indicated, and return it, by post, to District Governor
Nominee Nick Corke at the address below. Any additional comments
should be on a separate sheet.

Ratification from RI Board
Assets of Districts
We recommend to the General Council that the financial implications of these changes
must be taken into account regarding members moving from one district to another
with assets held within the districts being transferred proportionately. Taking note of
any RI established protocols and procedures. We recommend the RIBI Finance and RIBI
Constitutions committees work out the details of how this should proceed.
District regalia must also be taken into consideration.
5.3
Constitutional issue
We feel the General Council should be aware if the following extract from the RI Manual
of Procedure 2012; page 27:
29
Re-districting proposal – V.2 – 11th October 2012
“Districting
The RI Board is authorized to establish new districts, consolidate districts, and
change the boundaries of existing districts. No change in district boundaries
of any districts with 30 or more clubs and 1,000 or more Rotarians shall be
made by the RI Board over the objection of a majority of the clubs in the district
or districts that would be affected. The RI Board may eliminate or change
the boundaries of any district with fewer than 30 clubs or fewer than 1,000
Rotarians (fewer than 33 clubs or 1,200 Rotarians as of 1 July 2012). (RIB 15.010.)
The RI Districting Committee assists in establishing additional districts,
realigning clubs within districts, and consolidating existing districts. The districting
proposal form, which details the required information and procedures
in submitting a proposal, is available for download at www.rotary.org or from
your RI Club and District Support representative at the Secretariat (find your
representative at www.rotary.org/cds). Districts submitting a proposal should
note the following:
1) The Districting Committee considers proposals throughout the year.
Proposals should be submitted at least 90 days before an RI Board meeting,
if the proposer wishes the Board to consider the item at its next
meeting.
2) The committee looks favorably on proposals to create additional districts
with at least 60 clubs and/or 2,100 Rotarians that demonstrate a potential
growth to at least 75 clubs and 2,700 Rotarians in the next 10 years. (RCP
17.010.4.)”
We recommend any questions regarding the above are referred to the RIBI
Constitutions Committee.
5.4
Transition Management
5.4.1 DGs for 2015/16:
The election for District Governor of 2015/16 shall be completed by 31st May 2013.
Please see RIBI website for more information.
5.4.2 Shadow Council for each District:
Following the election of the DG 2015/16 the new districts should consider setting up a
Shadow District structure which will need to consider the following matters:
 Executive committee
 By-laws
 Standing orders
 Constitutions
 Committee structures
 Future elections and appointments
The vote for these proposals will take place at district level after the final proposal has been
put to General Council on 26th November 2012. If approved these changes will take effect
from the 1st July 2015.
