CR-001 · A 90-day try-out

A club plan for 60-Minute Club Health Conversation

Use this as a starting point. Cross out what does not fit, add what is missing and make it your club's own.

Where this idea came from

Playbook entry: CR-001 · 60-Minute Club Health Conversation
Theme: Theme 6: Club Renewal · Subtheme 1: Club Health & Honest Diagnosis
Source material: New Club Renewal index draft plus an internally authored detailed-guide draft

Initiative-specific development wave

How this draft was developed

These sources support general principles for whole-club renewal, accessibility, privacy, safety, systems or responsible governance; they are not an endorsement of 60-Minute Club Health Conversation, a finding that it suits any club or approval of its local design.

Primary references consulted

Engage emerging leaders (Rotary International)
Used for: Rotary encourages clubs to assess club health, ask members what they want, take suggestions seriously, support leadership and provide relevant service and learning experiences.
Enhancing Belonging and Engagement at Rotary (Rotary International)
Used for: Rotary identifies belonging, respect, accessibility and equitable access to opportunities, networks and support as central to participation and thriving.
Governance for good: A guide for Responsible People (Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission)
Used for: Good governance requires understood roles, authorised decision processes, checks and balances, appropriate delegations, written decisions and oversight of finances and operations.
Chapter 3: APP 3 Collection of solicited personal information (Office of the Australian Information Commissioner)
Used for: Personal-information collection should be lawful, fair, proportionate and minimised, with additional controls for sensitive information; each club must confirm how privacy law applies to it.

Candidate District material

No candidate local guide was used for this version. The current initiative identity and the attributed primary references remain separate.

Theme 6 source-assurance wave

What has been checked

4 current primary pages used by this guide were reopened on 9 August 2026.
4 attributed source claim(s) were mapped to their bounded use in this initiative.
Candidate District material remains separate and does not establish this result.

See each source's scope and limit

Engage Emerging Leaders
Supports: Member-centred discovery, mentoring, feedback, emerging-leader support and club-health review principles during renewal.
Does not establish: That a person is ready for office, should be selected, has consented to a role or that a proposed renewal pathway will work locally.
Enhancing Belonging and Engagement at Rotary
Supports: Belonging, accessibility, respectful participation and equitable access principles for renewal and club experience.
Does not establish: That a particular meeting model, membership pathway, leadership process or club culture is inclusive without testing with affected people.
Governance for good: A guide for Responsible People
Supports: Good-governance principles for renewal decisions, roles, delegation, records, accountability, financial oversight and organisational purpose.
Does not establish: That a Rotary club is an ACNC-registered charity, that ACNC duties apply or that a renewal decision complies with the club's governing documents.
Chapter 3: APP 3 Collection of solicited personal information
Supports: Data-minimisation, collection-purpose, proportionality and consent safeguards where the Privacy Act and APP 3 apply.
Does not establish: Whether a particular Rotary club is an APP entity or whether a proposed renewal survey, diagnostic or member record is lawful in its actual circumstances.

What still needs a person to confirm

Confirm the club's governing documents, bylaws, membership rules, decision authority, financial position and reserved decisions before changing its operating model.
Confirm which incorporated-association, charity, work health and safety, privacy, safeguarding and other duties apply to the club and this renewal design.
Test the need, accessibility, belonging, workload and alternative participation routes with current, former and prospective members rather than inferring support from the guide.
Confirm every local fact, starting point, measure, cost, owner, community need, capability claim and stopping condition before the club decides to proceed.
Resolve any candidate District-source provenance and approval decision without treating the candidate as controlled authority.

The source-verification release gate remains closed.

Checks still on hold

The controlled current Theme 6 catalogue establishes the code, title and renewal framing; the delivery content remains an internally authored draft pending full-corpus human review.
The connected Drive refresh returned an internal error on 9 August 2026. No unseen file was inferred or promoted; the 7 August intake, duplicate decisions, quarantines, rights boundaries and public-write permission hold remain in force and no sharing was changed.
Before local delivery, the club must approve the decision, participant choices, access arrangements, privacy and records plan, role boundaries, referral or escalation routes, resource limit and the specific control for this boundary: diagnosis must separate facts, experience and assumptions and cannot turn criticism of a practice into blame of a person.
Formal human review has not started. 60-Minute Club Health Conversation remains an internal initiative-specific draft until all 1,000 initiatives reach the Full-Corpus Review Build and every source, editorial, local-suitability, accessibility and governance gate is resolved.

Still an internal draft: source interpretation, local suitability, accessibility, governance and editorial approval remain open checks.

2. Our 90-day try-out

What our club will do for 60-Minute Club Health Conversation
Step	What we will do	Who could lead it	Our date	How we will know it is done
1	Write the decision brief for 60-Minute Club Health Conversation: define which evidence and lived experiences establish the strengths, pressures and unanswered questions that matter most, the starting evidence, people affected, local authority, resource limit, success signals and stop conditions.	Club board sponsor and renewal lead	Week one	An approved decision and boundary brief
2	Invite members with varied experiences and affected community partners where appropriate, show what is open or fixed, make access practical and record trade-offs and minority views. Apply this specifically to 60-Minute Club Health Conversation and record which relevant experiences or users are still missing.	Club board sponsor and renewal lead with the access and privacy contacts	Weeks one and two	A participant, access and information-handling plan
3	Build and test a facilitated conversation with a published influence boundary and balanced participation for 60-Minute Club Health Conversation; complete the 60-Minute Club Health Conversation Facilitation and Influence Run Sheet, rehearse the boundary wording and confirm who may decide, refer, pause, recover or close the work.	Facilitator and workstream owner	Before the trial	A tested facilitation and influence run sheet and delivery pack
4	Use a time-bounded change with named authority, capacity and stop conditions; compare evidence with the starting point and make unfinished work, unintended effects and resource pressure visible. Capture only the evidence needed to judge whether 60-Minute Club Health Conversation advances an honest shared club-health picture.	Facilitator and workstream owner	Weeks three to eight	A controlled activity and evidence record
5	Compare the evidence with the starting point, validate meaning with affected participants or users, record gaps and unintended effects and prepare a de-identified themes record and response register showing how participant input affected the decision without overstating what the trial proves.	Facilitator and workstream owner with an independent reviewer	Within seven days of the trial	A de-identified themes record and response register showing how participant input affected the decision
6	Make and record the authorised continue, adapt, refer, scale or stop decision for 60-Minute Club Health Conversation; explain the reason, complete every action, close unnecessary records and schedule the 90-day follow-up.	Club board and evidence reviewer	By day 90	A published participant response, closed action register and next-step decision

3. Checks before we start

Things our club needs to check
Question	What it means for us	Who will check	Done?
Use several kinds of evidence and make room for minority views; a score should open a conversation, not close one.
Discuss patterns without naming or diagnosing individual members, and agree who may see sensitive comments.
The club proceeds with 60-Minute Club Health Conversation without respecting this boundary: diagnosis must separate facts, experience and assumptions and cannot turn criticism of a practice into blame of a person. — Put the boundary in the brief and participant information, give the delivery lead stop authority and move any excluded matter to its responsible process.
Renewal becomes a long list of projects without a shared diagnosis or trade-offs. — Link each change to the agreed health picture, select one priority and record what will pause, stop or wait.
Consultation raises expectations beyond the authority or resources available. — Publish the decision boundary, resource ceiling and timetable and explain every accepted, deferred or declined proposal.
The same small group carries the renewal work and becomes less sustainable. — Use workload gates, role pairing, staged delivery and a stop decision when capacity is not real.
The controlled current Theme 6 catalogue establishes the code, title and renewal framing; the delivery content remains an internally authored draft pending full-corpus human review.
The connected Drive refresh returned an internal error on 9 August 2026. No unseen file was inferred or promoted; the 7 August intake, duplicate decisions, quarantines, rights boundaries and public-write permission hold remain in force and no sharing was changed.
Before local delivery, the club must approve the decision, participant choices, access arrangements, privacy and records plan, role boundaries, referral or escalation routes, resource limit and the specific control for this boundary: diagnosis must separate facts, experience and assumptions and cannot turn criticism of a practice into blame of a person.
Formal human review has not started. 60-Minute Club Health Conversation remains an internal initiative-specific draft until all 1,000 initiatives reach the Full-Corpus Review Build and every source, editorial, local-suitability, accessibility and governance gate is resolved.

4. What changed?

What we will keep an eye on
What matters	Where we are now	What we hope to see	How we will check	Who
Review 60-Minute Club Health Conversation after 90 days. Look for whether the club has a shared view of its starting point, two evidence-backed priorities and no important concern hidden by averages, and write down one decision the evidence supports.
60-Minute Club Health Conversation produces a de-identified themes record and response register showing how participant input affected the decision by the promised decision date, with evidence limitations, participation gaps and unintended effects stated.
People affected can explain the purpose, their choices, the boundary and how to raise an access, privacy, safety or governance concern.
The trial shows whether an honest shared club-health picture improved from the recorded starting point without shifting hidden workload, risk or exclusion elsewhere.
Every accepted action has an owner, due date and completion evidence, and the club records a reasoned continue, adapt, refer, scale or stop decision.

After 30 days

Is it reaching the right people? Is anything unsafe, unfair or harder than expected?

After 60 days

Make one useful change based on what people have told you.

After 90 days
