2. Article XI. Zonta International Nominating Committee, SECTION 3. Term, p. 14.

Name District Club I am a... CommentRegine Deguelle D27 Berlin 1989 Governor Con Section 3b is not a point for the bylaws. Bylaws are getting more

and more inflated if these details are added. Why not put it into the rules of procedure?

Ina Waesserling D14 Erfurt Governor Con The idea of holding the first meeting of the elected nominating committee before the closing of convention is truly a good one. Nevertheless this is not to be regulated in the Bylaws as we always try to simplify them. This matter shall be included in the Rules of Procedure/Convention manual or alike.

5. Article XII. Committees, SECTION 12. Z Club and Golden Z Club Committee.

Name District Club I am a... CommentAngelita O. Usal D17 Aparri Club Delegate Con This is not applicable to all classified clubs Stella Olaniyan D18 Ibadan 2 Club Delegate ConRegine Remy D14 Munich-

FriedensengelClub Delegate Con

Genelle Hanken D8 Coos Bay Area Club Delegate Con Removing the Emma L. Conlon Service Awards from the bylaws is correct. Eliminating the award and it's funding all together, as this bylaw proposal currently reads, is not. As a member of the ZI Z Club and Golden Z Club Committee, it was never the recommendation of the Z and Golden Z Club Committee to eliminate these awards nor their funding. Our recommendation was to remove the awards from the bylaws ONLY. This bylaw is misleading in its current written form and is in need of revision.

Ligaya Miguel D17 Ilocos Norte Club Delegate Con Why should we remove it? Alice Kirchner D3 Harrisburg-Hershey Club Delegate Con YWPA, Klausman and AE schorlarships are included in the by-

laws. The Conlon Award should be similarly included. Jennifer Teske D9 Old Pueblo Club Delegate Con Zonta's future is dependent on attracting younger members. If

we seek to build a legacy and retain younger members, we must continue to support the Z and Golden Z clubs.

Cherry Temple D11 Myrtle Beach Club Delegate Con ZI has constantly emphasized the need for these clubs. If the problem is that very few clubs are participating, perhaps the problem is how the award is being publicized. ZI should look at how the clubs are notified of the awards. I hope the problem is not that the amount is a burden to ZI. I don't think less than $2,000 should have too detrimental effect on the overall budget. We should be doing more for our Z and Golden Z Clubs, not less.

Joanne Gallos D3 Annapolis Governor Con It is the sponsoring club and the district to encourage Z and Golden Z clubs to apply for the Emma L. Conlon awards and to work with them to promote service projects. They are the closest to the Z or Golden Z club.

Andrea Banks D9 Casa Grande Governor Con This award was established in 1961 in honor of Past International President Emma L. Conlon. By eliminating this award, does this mean the ZI board and Z /Golden Z Club committee has determined that it is no longer necessary to honor PIP Emma Conlon in this manner? Furthermore, what message does this send to our youth? While the award amount is insignificant, it shows ZI's support and encouragement of our youth membership. Perhaps we need to do a better job of promoting this award, and, it would be nice to see an increase in the amounts awarded.

Name District Club I am a... CommentSusan Bergman D3 Fairfax County Club Delegate Con Needs clarification. Is the timeframe business or calendar days?

Also, in addition to saying "at least" days, this should state a maximum number of days to respond to a complaint.

Ria Matthijssens D27 Antwerpen Club Delegate Con The level 'AREA' is missing. In our District 27, but certainly also in other districts, the Area level plays an important role in the Zonta organisation. Some areas are bigger than some districts in other parts of the world, for example, Northern America. Therefore it would reflect the democratic reality if areas would be mentioned.

Angelita O.

Like in our case, all past presidents are now the directors where they are the no. 1 rejecting the new recruits of the club. That's why we are hard up in getting /recruit new members.

concerned must respond in writingRia Matthijssens D27 Antwerpen Club Delegate Con The level 'AREA' is missing. In our District 27, but certainly also

in other districts, the Area level plays an important role in the Zonta organisation. Some areas are bigger than some districts in other parts of the world, for example, Northern America. Therefore it would reflect the democratic reality if areas would be mentioned.

8. Article XIV. Clubs, SECTION 4. Officers and Directors, p. 26.

Name District Club I am a... CommentAngelita O. Usal D17 Aparri Club Delegate Con I agree for a club organizing with one or more director but not the

treasurer at the same time she is the secretary. Because a treasurer keeps the money and is in charge of the finances, while a secretary is the one recording the minutes of the meeting; they have different functions and roles in the club.

Geumsuk Son D32 Busan 2 Club Delegate ConAlice Kirchner D3 Harrisburg-Hershey Club Delegate Con While flexibility is helpful, this diminishes the size and structure

of the Board to an unhealthy size and scope, and reduces separation of duties.

Lydia Chaillou D29 Meaux 1549 Club Delegate Con This proposal should be divided in two proposals On one hand: treasurer or dual treasurer/ secretary And then: "may be one or more directors" Electing only 1 director leads very often to electing the immediate past president which always complicates the life of the new president. Reducing a club board to 4 people is dangerous; it leads to involving less people, knowing that a Zontian that is asked nothing is a "lost Zontian"

Mary Ellen Bittner D3 Washington, DC Past Intl PresideConJoanne Gallos D3 Annapolis Governor Con Actually while the intent is for club flexibility, the wording of this

article could mean no directors or only one (limiting the balancing and contributions) plus on the club level it is key to have both a secretary and a treasurer.

Louise Bredvad-Jensen D4 Hässleholm Club Delegate ConJennifer Christensen D3 Washington DC Club Delegate Con A small club needs a president, secretary, and treasurer. The

latter are two hard positions. Combining them would make the secretary/treasurer position hard to fill. This permits a board of 3 - president, vice president, and secretary/treasurer. For small clubs a smaller board may be appropriate, however, combining the two most labor intensive jobs on the board (secretary and treasurer) may mean small clubs won't be able to fill the position! It would make better sense to combine vice president and secretary.

9. Article XIV. Clubs, SECTION 5. Duties of Officers, p. 27.

Name District Club I am a... CommentAngelita O. Usal D17 Aparri Club Delegate Con The treasurer should report monthly for auditing purposes. A

treasurer is not always necessary as the chairman of the finance committee but should be a member of the finance committee.

Lois A Antritt D5 Newark Club Delegate Con Monthly report should be given and Club Treasurer should be on finance committee. Gives everyone a better idea of how the club is doing financially to have monthly report. Also gives good check and balance for club members.

Denise Conroy D22 Brisbane East Inc. Club Delegate Con Local laws require monthly reports. Suggest amendment - remove periodic and replace with 'the treasurer shall make reports to the board and the club as required by local laws governing incorporated associations'.

Alice Kirchner D3 Harrisburg-Hershey Club Delegate Con Periodic' is much too broad for financial information to be reported.

Susan Bergman D3 Fairfax County Club Delegate Con "Periodic" treasurer reports needs more specification. Periodic can be monthly, quarterly, yearly, etc. Add wording to indicate "no less than." For example, "periodic and no less than quarterly."

Brenda Elizabeth Bradbery D24 Sydney Hills Club Delegate Con A club's reports should be provided monthly as errors or serious financial issues could be missed if reporting interval is lengthened. In some local jurisdictions association incorporation laws require club treasurers to produce monthly reports and they would be in breach of the law if they did not.

Elizabeth Hart D1 Malden Governor Con Although I agree with striking "monthly", the Treasurer should be ex officio member of Finance Committee in order to maintain a clear picture of decisions made with respect to finances, transparency and responsibility. If you are giving this individual responsibility to manage the finances, they should have a voice on the finance committee.

Happiness Mapira D5 Columbus Club Delegate Con This is an important role, as the treasurer has clear knowledge of the club finances and has to provide the data used by the committee

Mary Ellen Bittner D3 Washington, DC Past Intl President

Con

Joanne Gallos D3 Annapolis Governor Con It is important for the treasurer to serve as an ex officio member of the finance committee.

Kirsi Nickels D20 Hyvinkaa Club Delegate Con Club treasurer is taking care of Club funds. Other Members of the Club Board need to be informed monthly, as well as Club Members.

Aba Amissah Quainoo D18 Accra II Club Delegate Con Club Treasurer should serve on the Finance Committee.Nicol Tasha Williams D3 Fairfax Club Delegate Con Language needs more clarity. It should still allow flexibility within

a time frame such as periodic reports but no less than 2 times a year.

Kathleen Barnard D2 Auburn Club Delegate Con I am in favor of monthly reports to have current information and that the treasurer be part of the finance committee, in order to maintain up to date records and transparency.

Cynthia Thurston D2 Oneida Area Club Delegate ConCarol Dobson D1 Halifax NS Club Delegate Con

Page 1 of 3

Jennifer Christensen D3 Washington DC Club Delegate Con Providing accurate financial information in the form of a financial report is important at board meetings so that sound financial decisions can be made if needed. For every board meeting, a financial report should be provided. Periodic financial reports can be made to the club. The treasurer should be required to provide a report at every board meeting, otherwise the board doesn't have the current financial data to make a good decision. The periodicity should apply to the club. The wording should be "The treasurer shall provide a report at every board meeting and periodically to the club".

Sant'AmbrogioGovernor Pro Since clubs and e-clubs have the same rights and duties, it is

natural to extend to clubs the opportunity to meet electronically, as e-clubs can meet face-to-face (and actually must meet in person at least once per year). Clubs have de facto experimented and gained confidence in electronic communications during the COVID-19 lockdown. In normal times, as much as meeting face-to-face adds value to keep up the Zonta spirit and friendship, the competence acquired to run electronic meetings can, for instance, give flexibility to busy or distant members to participate in the club life.

11. Article XIV. Clubs, SECTION 9, Committees, p. 29.

Name District Club I am a... CommentGeumsuk Son D32 Busan 2 Club Delegate ConAlice Kirchner D3 Harrisburg-Hershey Club Delegate Con This proposal reduces the intended effectiveness of the clubs

and districts. It will remove the ability to effectively coordinate information and actions throughout the organization and discourage common efforts on advocacy issues.

Elizabeth Hart D1 Malden Governor Con If you take out the requirement to have a membership, service and advocacy committee, I feel these important committees will get blended into others. And the true spirit of increasing membership, developing local service projects and especially focusing on advocacy will get lost.

Lydia Chaillou D29 Meaux 1549 Club Delegate Con By statute there must be at least the Membership Committee. Otherwise, in small clubs we just go straight to "zero" committees and again it's the president who has to do everything. Often committees do not exist, even with one person in the committee; this demobilizes some or many members.

Cherry Temple D11 Myrtle Beach Club Delegate Con This is difficult. Small clubs have problems with one member committees. I do not think this change will alter that. Taking away the requirements to have certain standing committees can cause clubs to go off track from our mission. We have all seen clubs supporting everything but women.

Mary Ellen Bittner D3 Washington, DC Past Intl PresideConJoanne Gallos D3 Annapolis Governor Con Not all mandatory committees should be deleted. Advocacy,

service, membership are needed, at least.Kirsi Nickels D20 Hyvinkaa Club Delegate Con I am not sure if this proposal would make it easier to conduct

business at the Club level. Not more fun either.Nicol Tasha Williams D3 Fairfax Club Delegate Con While this may work for smaller clubs, language should be clear

that Zonta is an advocacy focused organization, founded on advocacy and even though the number of committees will be flexible, clubs will still be required to have advocacy and service projects.

Palarp Sinhaseni D17 Bangkok 6 Club Delegate ProAngelita O. Usal D17 Aparri Club Delegate Pro Yes, there should always be fewer committees, especially if

Michelle Fogarty D9 Casa Grande Valley Club Delegate Pro We are currently at the beginning of the third decade of the 21st century. Since 1948, when the first Z club was formed at Burbank High School in Burbank California, we have seen great changes in the world. Girls of the age group proposed by this amendment are facing issues that previous generations would not have been aware or needed to deal with until they reached the high school level.

Therese Abela-King D24 Sydney West Club Delegate Pro Australian Laws in relation to contact with children include "Working with Children Checks'. This caution and evaluation is sufficient for Australian Zonta Clubs to begin educating sub-teens between 11-14 about the roles and goals of Zonta. It is imperative to educate our young as a way to grow in the future and to expand awareness for future generations.

Mutsumi Mori D26 Yamagata Club Delegate ProElizabeth Hart D1 Malden Governor ProJennifer Teske D9 Old Pueblo Club Delegate Pro Young girls our faced with challenges today that our current

generation only feared and believed was a myth. Young girls are the vulnerable targets of sex trafficking and cyberbullying because the aggressor believes they are uneducated. Empowering young girls disarms the aggressor. We cannot wait to fulfill our mission to empower women and continue our legacy with the Z Clubs of leadership development. We need to look at the world as it is NOW and bring this support guidance and the leadership development tools to these young girls before they reach high school.

Anita M. Zastrow D9 Phoenix/East Valley Club Delegate Pro Zonta International has been supporting the Let Us Learn Madagascar: An Integrated Program for Adolescent Girls for several years. Obviously, we are not waiting for these girls to reach high school/secondary school age. Thus the argument against these proposals to limit the focus to individuals at/above high school/secondary school age appears invalid. Widening opportunities to develop self esteem as well as service and advocacy skills can only enhance the future of sub-teen girls and prepare them for an educated future. I urge careful consideration of these proposals.

Club Delegate Pro

Yoshiko Nishimura D26 Kyoto Miyabi Club Delegate ProBrenda Elizabeth Bradbery D24 Sydney Hills Club Delegate Pro Rationale for not supporting nomenclature changes distinguishes

between position and actual incumbent. If this were consistent then the position term should be gender neutral and the term for the incumbent of the role should be the term which reflects the gender of the person fulfilling the role so the supplied logic is inconsistent. Contemporary meeting practice uses "chair" or "chairperson". The reader's understanding is not affected if the term is modified as the gender of the person in the role is not needed for the reader to understand what the term means. Supported

Mutsumi Mori D26 Yamagata Club Delegate ProRegine Deguelle D27 Berlin 1989 Governor Pro When we talk about "individuals" instead of men and women

(2.Art. XI Section 3. Term), we need to change this term, too. It's gender neutral. The term "Chair" could be a better choice...

14. Throughout the Zonta International Bylaws, replace the term “chairman” with “chairperson.”

This language is

extremely important to the younger generations and can determine if someone younger joins a club.

Louise Bredvad-Jensen D4 Hässleholm Club Delegate ProDeanne Croft D4 Kitchener Club Delegate Pro Our club is very disappointed that ZI would have us believe that

"chairman" is gender neutral. This is magical thinking and does not apply in 2020. RRs were developed in the 1800's by a man. While some of the rules of procedure are still useful in the 21st century, clearly the language needs updating. If ZI truly wants to empower women they must be cognizant of their use of language and how it reflects on women. ZI represents women's voices on a world stage; the language of its bylaws MUST reflect this. We emphatically support this bylaw change.

Kathleen Barnard D2 Auburn Club Delegate ProCynthia Thurston D2 Oneida Area Club Delegate ProCarol Dobson D1 Halifax NS Club Delegate ProLeslie Wright D3 Brooklyn Club Delegate Pro To appeal to more members Zonta needs to update and avoid

archaic language. English has two sex neutral terms for someone chairing a committee or meeting - chair or chairperson. The use of "chairman" has patriarchal overtones from centuries of use, which cannot be overcome by a glossary of terms. The Zonta glossary that defines "chairman" as referring to both men and women is outdated. A proper term should be "chairperson". Should we rename our leaders using "chairwoman" we would also be incorrect should a male member be in the chair, despite any glossary definition.

Erin Foley D2 Skaneateles Club Delegate Pro The word Chairman is surrounded by controversy with the increasing trend of women being elected to this position in organizations around the world. Chairman implies that the person in the role is a man. The argument that the word "man" refers to a human being or mankind is old fashioned. These words have been replaced; Mankind = humankind, human race, human beings; Man = human beings, the human race. When there is a choice between a gender-specific and gender-neutral word the one that is gender-neutral should be used. Chairperson would be the gender-neutral term.

Elizabeth Sproule D4 Waterloo Club Delegate Pro Robert's Rules are helpful for ensuring procedural fairness but they were written 100 years before it was even contemplated that women would participate in any endeavors requiring parliamentary rules. The language of ZI's Bylaws should not continue to be influenced by the language of these rules when they do not recognize even the possibility of women as leaders.

Helena Tilander D21 Stockholm VI Club Delegate ConKarin Näsström D21 Malmö 1 Club Delegate ConErin Foley D2 Skaneateles Club Delegate ConIna Waesserling D14 Erfurt Governor Con This is not to be regulated in the Bylaws as we always try to

simplify them. This matter should be included in the Convention manual with flexible handling for the organizers.

PresidentCon Three changes are proposed to Circularization in the Rules of

Procedures. One is a minor word change, one is related to the GDPR and one is deleting the words "for or against proposals that will be voted on" which will allow discussions around Bylaws changes before Convention. If you are against one of these changes, you need to vote No, even if you are agreeing to the two other proposals. This is very unfortunate, and the paragraph should be changed so you have at least two different voting options.

FriedensengelClub Delegate Con I am completely against providing membership lists to other

organizations without the knowledge of the member.Denise Conroy D22 Brisbane East Inc. Club Delegate Con It should be the individual members who determine whether their

name as a Zonta member can be given to anyone else. There would need to be an 'agreement' statement on the membership form /renewal to allow ZI to provide names to any other organisation. Let us say that a member went through an horrendous divorce and is under protection from her 'ex'. If her 'EX' is a member of Rotary and we gave Rotary our member list then there is a situation which could be potentially harmful to the Zontian. Zonat needs to get members' permission to do this.

PresidentPro At all levels of Zonta International the members, i.e., clubs

represented by delegates at the international and district levels and individual Zontians at the club level, are the ultimate decision-makers. In order to make wise decisions, decision-makers must have the power and freedom to discuss and express positions on the issues.

Joanne Gallos D3 Annapolis Governor Con It is my understanding that initially the Individual Membership was offered to attract celebrities, famous names, executives to promote our Centennial. With electronic meetings and E-clubs, there is no need for Individual Membership.

Kirsi Nickels D20 Hyvinkaa Club Delegate Con I think the Membership categories should be clear to everyone and they should include the same rights and responsibilities. There are open questions regarding " Individual Members" and the information they share with e.g. Club members, committees, conferences. What does a Club know of them?

2. RESOLUTION on conducting an overall review of Zonta International.

Name District Club I am a... CommentDenise Conroy D22 Brisbane East Inc. Club Delegate Con This should take place AFTER there is a revision of the Bylaws

(proposed) which could introduce significant changes Ursula Werner D14 Garmisch-

PartenkirchenClub Delegate Con I am generally in favour of an investigation into the possibilities of

simplifying the framework for membership, dues payments, governance and operations but I am against the resolution because an overhaul of the organization's membership base, governing structure and operational framework should not be undertaken at the same time as another entity of the organization is rewriting the Bylaws. One of these major tasks should have to come before the other.

Cherry Temple D11 Myrtle Beach Club Delegate Con I think a separate committee should be appointed by the leadership to conduct such a review. Yes, we need a review, but what I think needs to change is probably not where the proposed resolution is aimed.

Make clear what the proposed budget is for Resolution no. 3, as the modifications on the bylaws follow logically for any change that might follow; and 3.

We should not be scared to benchmark our organization. The purpose of this resolution is to gain full awareness of our strengths and weaknesses, to understand how we can make Zonta more appealing and inclusive for ALL generations, in a rapidly changing world. After 100 years of service and advocacy and a recent pandemic that is challenging our lifestyles, this review is undeferrable.

3. RESOLUTION authorizing the revision and restatement of the Bylaws of Zonta International.

Name District Club I am a... CommentMargit Webjörn D21 Trosa Past Intl

PresidentCon A revision of Bylaws is needed but should be proposed by a

special revision committee as presupposed in Bylaws Article XIX Section 1 (a). A revision committee can be appointed by the ZI Board and should include members with international outlook, high-level legal expertise and profound knowledge of ZI. See also RONR (11th ed.), p. 566, ll 20-35. A Bylaws revision must be coordinated with a possible overall review of ZI, proposed in Resolution 2, and therefore a revision committee may need more time than the coming biennium.

Ursula Werner D14 Garmisch-Partenkirchen

Club Delegate Con I am generally in favour of an overhaul of the Bylaws of Zonta International, but I am against the resolution because an overhaul of the Bylaws should not be made by an international committee at the same time as the International Board is making changes to the governance of the organization. One of these major tasks should have to come before the other.

CHERRY TEMPLE D11 Myrtle Beach Club Delegate Con You tinker with the bylaws every two years.Why not let one biennium go by with no changes and then look at what is wrong.

Sonja Hönig Schough D21 Kungsbacka Past Intl President

Con The bylaws are interdependent with the organizational structure. To do both an organizational review and a bylaws revision the same biennium creates double work as the report from the organizational review will not be presented until Convention 2022. The implications for the Bylaws are therefore currently unknown and cannot be considered the coming biennium which might lead to yet another Bylaws revision in the following biennium. I therefore recommend the organizational review but to wait with the bylaw's revision until the result is ready. Planning and preparations can of course start already now to create a smoother work later.

However, even when District 25 was growing in membership, it has made an impact in South Asia with Zonta Service & Advocacy for Gender Equality and Women Empowerment. Under COVID 19 Pandemic Financial Crunch of 2020, it is a challenge to sustain membership. If Districts are turned into Regions, morale and spirits of Zontians will be affected. Hence there should not be any change in minimum size of District with 300 members.

Gerda Senkyr D14 Vienna Parkring Club Delegate Con The reasons and advantages of the proposal are evident and have to be recognized, but it does not make sense to reduce the number of districts by increasing the number of regions. An overall review of the organizational structure has to be considered.

Elizabeth Hart D1 Malden Governor ConRegine Deguelle D27 Berlin 1989 Governor Con At this moment a change of the district structure is one step too

far ahead. Sabine Everaert D27 Ghent 1 Club Delegate Con Global picture firstHappiness Mapira D5 Columbus Club Delegate Con Some districts are too far apart geographically. How would

districts hold meetings and handle the expenses? If we vote on this as a pro, then we should limit in person meetings and make more meetings virtual.

to increase them is an issue for our members. The purpose of this resolution is to mitigate that pressure through merging small districts into neighboring districts, sharing a common language and culture. No new regions will be needed. By reducing the number of districts, we can reduce administrative expenses and make the districts more equal. This will contribute to the overall health of our organization, further empower our activities and enable any further rational solutions as regards our organization structure.

Name District Club I am a... CommentAngelita O. Usal D17 Aparri Club Delegate ConDenise Conroy D22 Brisbane East Inc. Club Delegate Con Whilst Zonta International projects have been the choice of ZI

Presidents, there should be a way in which they can ask governments in geographical areas to consider the plight of women and girls when those governments put together their aid programs. The Australian Government has strongly supported women in the South Pacific and Timor due to the fact that they had a strong (female) foreign Affairs Minister. Zonta Districts can engage in advocacy for government support for aid for women and girls. This would make our international advocacy more effective without incurring any cost.

facing reduced income or beginning to establish careers. As retention of membership is the proposed focus of 2020-2022, it would be counter-productive to have gained YP members only to lose them during these difficult years, when finances may be reduced whilst establishing themselves. This also applies when seeking new YP. Leading by example will encourage consideration of expenses at club, area and district levels. The vibrant addition and retention of younger people and the ideas and energy they bring to club is essential and necessary for the future survival of Zonta.

Joanne Gallos D3 Annapolis Governor Pro This is a difficult one. I like the idea of maintaining these professionals, but am unsure if raising the age is the way to do so.

Michelle "Shelley" Schultz D7 Mankato Governor Pro When we look at the medium age of our organization, we probably would be classified as an "aging population". I am in that category (70 yrs young ) and I believe we need to take action to recruit and keep young professionals.

11. RESOLUTION regarding new policy on Women’s Reproductive Health.

Name District Club I am a... CommentStella Olaniyan D18 Ibadan 2 Club Delegate Con

Denise Conroy D22 Brisbane East Inc. Club Delegate Con

Zonta has no 'official' position on prostitution or abortion. The current ZI statement on women's sexual and reproductive health (April 2019) is sufficient given that countries have different legislative provisions.

Regine Deguelle D27 Berlin 1989 Governor Con

Zonta cannot speak about women's health policy unanimously when it comes to abortion. This is a personal decision, and it is against the law in many countries.

Sabine Everaert D27 Ghent 1 Club Delegate Con locally organizedLydia Chaillou D29 Meaux Club Delegate ConLeena Hytonen D20 Mikkeli Club Delegate ConRhonda Estes D15 Traverse City Club Delegate Con

Ursula Werner D14Garmisch-Partenkirchen Club Delegate Con

Abortion is an individual choice and individuals take a decision on abortions for various personal reasons. Zonta Advocacy says that: Districts, Areas and Clubs should pursue topics only if they are ones which do not 'divide' the membership. Complex ethical issues (e.g. abortion, euthanasia) are to be left to personal advocacy. Zonta International's Statement on Women's Sexual and Reproductive Health further clarifies Zonta's position in this regard. Changing this may have a very negative impact. Zonta International has clubs in 63 countries, including countries where abortion is illegal. We may lose members in those countries.

Cherry Temple D11 Myrtle Beach Club Delegate Con

I think Zonta should encourage the protection of women's reproductive choices. Sorry, but sometimes you've got to rock the boat. Isn't that why we were founded?

Mary Ellen Bittner D3 Washington, DCPast Intl President Con

Access to abortion is controversial and in many countries a partisan and sectarian issue. Zonta International wisely chose to remain neutral on abortion because Zonta is an organization where members are unified in their belief that women's rights are human rights, regardless of a member's personal position on the issue. Zontians may individually join pro-life or pro-choice organizations, and there is no need for Zonta International to take a position on either side. If Zonta International abandons its neutrality on this divisive issue, we will lose members.

Joanne Gallos D3 Annapolis Governor Con

The reason I am against this resolution is that I firmly believe both the UN and Zonta's words below express it perfectly. "...and recognizing that the human rights of women include their right to have control over and decide freely and responsibly on all matters related to their sexuality, including sexual and reproductive health, free of coercion, discrimination and violence, as a contribution to the achievements of gender equality and the empowerment of women and the realization of their human rights;.."

Zonta International wisely chose to remain neutral on abortion because Zonta is an organization where members are unified in their belief that women's rights are human rights, regardless of a member's personal position the issue. There is no need for Zonta International to take a position on either side. If Zonta International abandons its neutrality on this divisive issue, we will lose members. Specifically, we will lose a member who is quite active and respected in our club. I don't want to lose her. Women of all persuasions and political beliefs work together to achieve more important women's equality issues.

Ramona Stoltz D3 Washington, D.C. Club Delegate Con

It appears this resolution was proposed prior to ZI approving a statement on women's health. The current statement is well stated and inclusive. As proposed, the resolution language is unnecessarily divisive. To specify abortion in this statement indicates an intent to engage controversy that will divide or even estrange members. Zonta's mission, services and programs are not in conflict with this issue - it does not serve the organization well to create conflict within the membership. There is no political, legal or other gain to be made and this resolution is in conflict with women's rights as human rights.

Central Coast Zonta understands that this Resolution references the withdrawn ZI Women's Reproductive Health Policy and the more recent Statement on Women's Sexual and Reproductive Health. Nevertheless, we believe the Statement should be explicit in supporting the right for women to be able to access legal, safe and affordable abortion if that is their choice. Regarding ZI Board's rationale that Zonta cannot implement a policy that may conflict with a country's unique legislation regarding reproductive health, we believe proposal 11 is consistent with Zonta working within the legal system as it expresses support for "access to safe, legal abortion".

Zonta International women's health policy includes: Access to health care services, including those services related to family planning. According to WHO, the provision of safe, legal abortion is essential to fulfilling the global commitment to the Sustainable Development Goal of universal access to sexual and reproductive health. The fact that women in all countries do not have access to family planning does not stop Zonta to include family planning in the policy. Neither should access to safe legal abortions. This is not legal today in all countries but Zonta needs to take a stand to promote a needed change.

Ma.Regina Valino-Valdez D17 Nueva Vizcaya Club Delegate Pro

Karin Müchler D21 Gällivare Governor Pro

The right for a woman to decide if and when to have children is of vital importance to her empowerment. Safe, legal abortions are essential for women to be fully able to make decisions regarding their own reproductive health. They are also essential for women's health. The lack of safe, legal abortions has the biggest negative impact on poor women as affluent women always can find other options. This resolution is not about our own personal views on abortion. It is about Zonta as an organization taking a stand to give all women the possibility for better lives.

Bistra Ilieva D30 Sofia Club Delegate Pro

Helena Tilander D21 Stockholm VI Club Delegate Pro

Illegal abortions are the greatest threat to womens health, and in particular reproductive health. In that context is it essential that Zonta International supports safe and legal abortions to ensure womens safety.

To avoid unsafe abortions, risking the lives of both mothers and children.
