Current playbook index title and category plus an internally authored detailed-guide draft
Initiative-specific development wave
How this draft was developed
These sources support general principles for continuing member value, respectful volunteering and controlled use of personal information; they are not an endorsement of the named Member Thank-You Note Program or this local moderation and delivery model.
National Standards for Volunteer Involvement(Volunteering Australia) Used for: Volunteer involvement should be inclusive, respectful and supported by sound organisational practice.
Chapter 6: APP 6 Use or Disclosure of Personal Information(Office of the Australian Information Commissioner) Used for: Personal information should not be reused or disclosed beyond the understood purpose without an applicable basis.
Candidate District material consulted
These records remain draft evidence and still need a human source decision.
Club Playbook - Theme 2 Candidate record 67 Mini Thank You Notes System provides the related physical or digital peer-thanks concept. It is not a literal current-title match and does not supply moderation, complaint separation, recipient control, public-use consent, no-ranking, metadata or deletion controls.
Theme 2 source-assurance wave

Chapter 6: APP 6 Use or Disclosure of Personal Information Supports: The 21 attributed Theme 2 claims attached to this source, limited to the implementation elements and supporting documents named in each initiative-level claim mapping. Does not establish: Whether the Privacy Act or another duty applies to this club, whether consent is informed and valid, whether collection or publication is authorised, or whether the proposed safeguards are sufficient in the actual circumstances.
What still needs a person to confirm
Confirm the member, prospective-member, past-member and community needs, preferences and consent that the local design assumes.
Confirm which privacy, safeguarding, incorporated-association, charity, work health and safety, food, liquor, copyright, licensing, screening and other duties apply to the club and the activity.
Test accessibility, cultural safety, belonging, language and alternative participation routes with affected people and recognise First Nations cultural authority rather than inferring suitability from the guide.
Confirm every local fact, starting point, cost, role, current service contact, measure, stopping condition and platform capability before the club decides to proceed.
Confirm the authority and current scope of each primary source, resolve login-gated or moved-page references and keep any candidate District material attributed and unapproved until its source decision is made.
The source-verification release gate remains closed.
Checks still on hold
The club must approve the note, moderation, complaint, delivery, publicity, access, retention and deletion rules before launch.
Harmful, discriminatory, commercial, confidential, complaint or safeguarding content must not be delivered through the program.
Private delivery is the default and both sender and recipient permission is required for every public use.
No note count or content may be used to rank members or inform appointment, performance or award decisions.
Still an internal draft: source interpretation, local suitability, accessibility, governance and editorial approval remain open checks.
What could this idea change?
It makes a wider range of contributions visible and strengthens the club's culture of appreciation.
It may suit: Members and volunteers whose contributions may be recognised, and the people nominating or celebrating them.
Could this work in our club?
Consider Member Thank-You Note Program when valuable contributions are going unnoticed or recognition depends too heavily on the same informal networks.
Members who want to acknowledge a specific action, help or quality without needing a formal award process.
A moderated physical or digital route that blocks harmful, discriminatory, commercial, confidential or complaint content.
Private delivery by default, with separate recipient permission before reading, displaying, photographing or publishing a note.
Before you start
A simple note guide asking what the person did and why it helped, plus excluded content and a separate complaint and feedback route.
A trained moderator, secure collection and delivery process and clear rules for anonymous, named, physical and digital notes.
Private delivery and recipient controls for attribution, reply, public sharing, image, archive and deletion.
A minimal program review using volumes and safe themes rather than recipient rankings or message content.
At the end: At the 90-day review, compare the recorded measures with the starting point, resolve the listed governance holds and tell participants whether Member Thank-You Note Program will change, continue or stop.
