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 Digital Event Registration Guide, 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Hosting accessible and inclusive online meetings and events (Australian Human Rights Commission)
    Used for: Accessible online participation starts with platform choice, alternative dial-in access, accessible materials, inclusive facilitation, adjustment planning and accessible follow-up.
  • 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 5 source-assurance wave

What has been checked

  • 5 current primary pages used by this guide were reopened on 9 August 2026.
  • 5 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.
  • Enhancing Belonging and Engagement at Rotary
    Supports: Belonging, accessibility and equitable participation principles for digital member experiences.
    Does not establish: That a particular digital workflow is inclusive, accessible or suitable without testing with affected people.
  • 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.
  • Hosting accessible and inclusive online meetings and events
    Supports: Practical accessibility and inclusion safeguards for online participation.
    Does not establish: Conformance of a particular platform, document or club process without user testing and local accessibility review.
  • 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 collection is lawful in its actual circumstances.

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

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

What could this idea change?

A consistent welcome helps people build relationships sooner and understand how they can take part.

It may suit: New and prospective members, and the club members helping them settle in.

Could this work in our club?

  • Consider Digital Event Registration Guide when new or existing members are expected to use club systems but receive little guided practice or support.
  • 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 inclusive digital onboarding and capacity to support a time-bounded event with a clear purpose, accessible participation choices and a safe close.
  • A 90-day trial of Digital Event Registration Guide 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 minimum digital tasks a new member needs and what human or non-digital alternative will remain available, the local authority, people affected, fixed constraints, resource ceiling, decision date and stop conditions.
  • A starting-point record and participant plan suited to a time-bounded event with a clear purpose, accessible participation choices and a safe close, with accessible information, voluntary choices and a supported alternative route where needed.
  • Named delivery, evidence and decision owners, including a person authorised to pause Digital Event Registration Guide 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 Digital Event Registration Guide will change, continue or stop.

Are people protected?

Check privacy, consent and safety. Collect only the information you genuinely need.

Can everyone take part?

Are the facts and permissions right?

Check names, claims, images, quotations, partner references and Rotary branding.

How will we learn?

Note where things stand now, check in at 30, 60 and 90 days, and decide what to do next.
