Former Rotarians shall continue to be ineligible for a period of 36 months after termination of their
membership. Persons who were ineligible based on their familial relationship to a former Rotarian
shall continue to be ineligible for a period of 36 months after termination of their family member’s
membership. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such individuals shall be eligible to participate on

applicant and must notify the committee chair in advance of the selection process of any actual or

member of the same club sponsoring an application, familial relationship, etc.
The selection committee chair will decide how and if that committee member should participate in
the selection process for that one or all candidates with whom there is an actual or perceived conflict
of interest. If the selection committee chair is the individual with an actual or perceived conflict of
interest, the club board or the DRFC chair, as appropriate, will decide how and if such chair should
participate in the selection process for that one or all candidates with whom there is an actual or
perceived conflict of interest.
