On line meetings and training to become more common?

Technology is playing an increasingly important role in connecting Rotarians.  International Rotary Leadership Institute is looking at distance learning and while no timeline is yet available for the RLI course to be delivered on-line progress is being made; the NZ Pacific representative is Beryl Robinson plus District 9920 is also looking at its own distance learning options, particularly to the Pacific.

A recent example was the Rotary Club of 9920 Francophone who held a meeting that featured RI President Ron Burton as guest speaker and attracted visitors from around the world - 5pm Paris-time and 2am NZ-time (attended by Beryl Robinson and Dyann Calverley).

 
Here is a further example:
The Rotary E-Club 9920 Francophone is going to become Twin Club again for the 7th and 8th time this Rotary year with 2 other Rotary Clubs :
 
-          On Thursday , May 15th at 1.00pm , France time , with the Rotary E-Club Premier de Montréal, D.7040 , Québec- Canada , on their GOTOMEETING :
 
-          On Tuesday , May 20th at 8pm , France time , with the SIRC (Stockholm International Rotary Club) , D.2350 , Sweden , on our GOTOMEETING:
 
And there will be more coming , maybe even before the end of the Rotary year , and certainly next year !
If you would like to join this GoToMeeting please email the President of Rotary E-Club 9920 Francophone for meeting access details.
