The Council on Legislation meets every three years to consider changes to the policies that govern Rotary International and its member clubs. This year’s Council accepted a dues increase of US$1 per year per member, removed limits on e-clubs, decided to permit satellite clubs, and changed the name of the fifth Avenue of Service from “New Generations Service” to “Youth Service.”
