DISTRICT RULES AND PROCEDURES COMMITTEE

Background:
The setting up of our District 3300 Rules and Procedures Committee was based on the recommendation of the June 2001 RI Board meeting. The RI Board
decision reads as follows:
“The Board created a district-level arbitration process, similar to the club-level arbitration process described in the Standard Rotary Club Constitution, to
assist with the resolution of the district-level election disputes. The Board also encourages districts to form “Rules and Procedures” Committees to advise
governors on nomination and election issues. Details will be provided to governors.”
The PDGs’ Council proposed the setting up of this Rules and Procedures Committee and this proposal was endorsed at the Joint District Conference held
at Genting Highlands on 13-15 December 2002. DG Dr Lakshmanan subsequently called for nominations and the seven members elected were PDG
David Ho, PDG Dr Paul Lee, PDG Dr R T Arasu, PDG Dato’ Dr Low Teong, PP Chandra Nair, PP Joy Appukuttan and DGN Dato’ A P Perumal. The first
meeting of the committee was convened by Governor on Friday 4th April 2003 and the proposals of the committee are as attached below.
