Source material
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 digital, data and systems, accessibility, privacy, safety, systems or responsible governance; they are not an endorsement of Officer Digital Guides, a finding that it suits any club or approval of its local design.
Primary references consulted
Rotary Clubs(Rotary International) Used for: Rotary describes club participation through service, friendship, diversity, integrity and leadership, including online participation for people affected by schedules, mobility or distance.
Club - Administration Guide(ClubRunner Support & Knowledgebase) Used for: ClubRunner's official administration guidance covers member profiles and access, communications, reports, contacts, event functions and membership-success workflows.
How do I access and change my profile information?(ClubRunner Support & Knowledgebase) Used for: ClubRunner profiles may contain contact, membership, participation, role and privacy settings, so access, accuracy, member choice and local data handling require deliberate controls.
Chapter 11: APP 11 Security of personal information(Office of the Australian Information Commissioner) Used for: Entities covered by the Privacy Act must take reasonable steps to protect personal information and destroy or de-identify it when it is no longer needed, subject to lawful retention requirements.
Candidate District material
No candidate local guide was used for this version. The current initiative identity and the attributed primary references remain separate.
Theme 5 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
Rotary Clubs Supports: Rotary club participation context and the value of accessible online or hybrid participation. Does not establish: Product configuration, legal compliance, local suitability or approval of a named initiative.
Club - Administration Guide Supports: The need to use current ClubRunner product instructions for administration and member workflows. Does not establish: That a proposed configuration is available in the club's edition, correctly permissioned or suitable for its members.
How do I access and change my profile information? Supports: Current member-profile capabilities and the need to preserve member access, accuracy and privacy choices. Does not establish: That a particular field should be collected, shared, published or retained, or that every member has the same permissions.
Chapter 11: APP 11 Security of personal information Supports: Security, access, retention and disposal safeguards where the Privacy Act and APP 11 apply. Does not establish: That a club's controls are reasonable, that the Privacy Act applies or that a particular retention period is correct.
What still needs a person to confirm
Confirm which privacy, records, safeguarding and other legal duties apply to the club and this local design.
Confirm current ClubRunner or other platform features, permissions, licence settings and supplier instructions in the club's actual account.
Test accessibility and alternative participation routes with affected members rather than inferring conformance from the guide.
Confirm every local fact, starting point, measure, cost, owner and claim 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 current Theme 5 index controls the code and title. No unverified or close legacy Digital crosswalk was used as initiative evidence.
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: clubs must follow current ClubRunner instructions, member choices and least-access principles and must not use training data drawn from real sensitive records.
Formal human review has not started. Officer Digital Guides 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.
What could this idea change?
It reduces avoidable administration and makes club information easier to find, use and hand over.
It may suit: Members who use or maintain the club's information, communications and digital tools.
Could this work in our club?
Consider Officer Digital Guides when ClubRunner tasks depend on one person, records are inconsistent or members cannot find what they need.
A club where the club has a defined user need, accountable owner, current platform information, proportionate data plan and a safe way to test and reverse the change.
A club with a real need for safe and competent ClubRunner use and capacity to support a bounded 90-day initiative with a clear outcome, participant choices, safeguards and decision date.
A 90-day trial of Officer Digital Guides with a starting point, named participants, a resource ceiling and a scheduled continue, adapt or stop decision.
Before you start
A board-approved brief naming which ClubRunner task, role and access level members need to perform accurately, the local authority, people affected, fixed constraints, resource ceiling, decision date and stop conditions.
A starting-point record and participant plan suited to a bounded 90-day initiative with a clear outcome, participant choices, safeguards and decision date, with accessible information, voluntary choices and a supported alternative route where needed.
Named delivery, evidence and decision owners, including a person authorised to pause Officer Digital Guides when a safeguard, permission or boundary is not met.
A proportionate check of governing documents, privacy, information security, accessibility, conflicts, safeguarding, work health and safety, records, finance and referral duties for the actual local design.
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 Officer Digital Guides will change, continue or stop.
