ICC Austria - Turkey is under negotiation. Interest is signalled but no agreement signed.

ICC Austria - Serbia is also an open offer.

ICC Austria - Egypt : the negotiations and contacts have been stopped due to the political situation.

ICC Austria - India is an open offer but some details need to be sorted out.

ICCs from a very active ICC subchair in Sarajevo are being negotiated, but also no final agreement.

After 2013 stock taking of activities (or in some cases unfortunately rather non activities) I have started a more intensive Information initiative (PETS, District Conferences, President Conferences, etc.) in order to clarify the details of ICC and to motivate clubs to engage.

ICC REPORT 2014 - Austria and Bosnia-Herzegovina

It is worth mentioning that Austria participated in the Peace conference 2013 at the Lake Ochrid in Macedonia with good initiatives by turkish friends and the attendance of senior Austrian politicians with high moral standing in the Balkans as well as the attendance of PRIP Kalyan Banerjee, with whom I discussed action in Vienna before the meeting. It is the firm intention of Austrias Rotarians to continue the peace supporting work in the Balkan region.If and how it could be linked with the mediterranean peace work of Italian, French and Turkish Rotarians remains to be seen. 3. Important activities in progress / Actions importantes en cours Apart from the rather local initiative to raise the ICC profile and to reenergise/establish living and possibly vibrant ICCs I want to mention that I have been contacted by the initiators of the Plus Europe Conference to take place this year in Brussels. I have strongly supported this initiative, could not participate personally but have asked PDG Elmar Marent (a former international senior civil servant) to participate for Austria. I will adress this point at our meeting to get a common position how ICC or the International Road of Service of Rotary could be positioned in this very specific European initiative. Having spoken to a number of european Rotarians I consider the answer to this question as very important and look forward to share views with the ICC community. After many years we are planning to have an Austrian ICC conference again - planned in early July- in order to inform the club representatives in detail. I have been at this years PETS and so the next information step will adress the ICC chairs in the clubs. 4. Any financial problems with ICCs / Problemes financiers des CIP Not really. Occasionally there are cross issues with future generation exchanges, but clear budgeting will help. The acting DG has - accepting my proposal - introduced a dedicated budget for the ICC work as well. Special projects need the usual project budgeting. Comments/Observations Looking forward to this conference in Milano I hope we will adress the role of ICCs in the intercountry dimension as well as in the global dimension (EU, US, India,eg).

Organization of trip to Euro Disney, Paris of children suffering from cancer. This project has been

successfully planned and the children are travelling to France during the month of May 2014. RC Hasharon-

Hertzlyia members have generously contributed to its realization, together with more local Rotary Clubs.

The Bnei Brith Organization of Paris are generously providing accommodation to the children and the

accompanying parents during their stay in France. On April 30th, 2014 the RC of Hasharon-Hertzlyia

organized a reception in honor of CP Ms Marianne Frenkel, Chair of the ICC France-Israel, and the members

of her Paris Club who had come to Israel for a tour. CP Frenkel expressed her interest in establishing a twin-

city in Israel. The Israel-France ICC was also very much active in the organization and realization of the

Rotary Institute that took place in Jerusalem in November 2013.

Israel-Serbia: Chair PP Hanan Haas of the Kfar Saba RC.

The ICC organized the visit of agronomist Aleksa Ajzdanovic to greenhouses in the Negev and Aravah.

During the Rotary-Lead-Peace Conference that took place in April 2014 in Israel, they met with the Serbian

representative Alexander Mitic. They also gave their support to the harpist Jaqueline Miloshwitz, who

played at the Rotary-Lead-Peace Youth Conference. The ICC is currently checking the possibility of

establishing a twin-club. During the Jerusalem Institute of RI which took place in November 2013, a

renewed agreement for the ICC Israel-Serbia was signed in the presence of the District Governors of Serbia

and Israel. Chair Haas also hosted the Serbian delegation in his house. At the end of March 2014, the ICC,

with the help of Rtns Reuben Cohen and Yoel Fisher, organized a tour of Tel Aviv- Yaffo for a group of

Rotarians from Croatia.

Israel-Hungary: Chair PP Yoel Fisher of the Ramat Aviv RC .

This year`s activities focused mainly on strengthening the relations between the Vac RC, the Ramat Aviv RC

and the Beer Yakov RC. Two members of the Beer Yakov Club travelled to Hungary, were hosted in Vac and

also visited the Budapest Center RC. The trip to Hungary of the RC Ramat Aviv members has been

postponed to September 2014. During the Rotary Institute held in Jerusalem last November, the ICC held

two meetings with Hungarian representatives. On the Independence Day of Israel on May 6th 2014,

Rotarians will be guests at the official reception of the newly appointed Hungarian Ambassador to Israel

H.E. Dr. Andor who is very appreciative of the Rotary Organization and has expressed his wish to cooperate

with RD 2490 Israel on various issues. The ICC also took care of organizing the accommodation of 3

Hungarian girls who participated in the Rotary-Lead-Peace Conference in April 2014 at the homes of local

Rotarians as well as of the relevant logistics (they enjoyed a private tour of Tel Aviv- Yaffo as well as

transportation from and to the Airport)

Israel-Poland: Chair PP Shlomo Bronher of the Ramle RC.

The activities of this ICC and the relations with Poland are developing at a very satisfactory pace. The

Rotary-Lead-Peace Conference in April 2014 provided the opportunity to establish contacts with the

President of the RC of Szczecin who in interested in finding Israeli celebrities who were born in Szczecin in

order to establish a corner in their honor in the Szczecin museum. This is a joint project of Poland,

Germany, Russia and Israel.

Israel-Belgium/Luxembourg: Chair PP Gad Kahan of the Haifa RC.

reasons. The ICC is now in the process of establishing contacts with the counterpart abroad in order to

restore relations and activities.

irrigation, greenhouses etc. The RC of Lod received them at the airport upon arrival and also organized for

them a special reception in Indian style.

Israel-Romania: Chair PP Ephraim Pri-Har of the Givatayim RC.

Following the signature of twin-club agreements with 4 Romanian R Clubs, Israeli Rotarians travelled to visit

the Romanian counterparts. More visits are being planned for the near future. A large delegation of

Romanian Rotarians attended the Rotary Institute held in Jerusalem last November, among them PDG

Ovidiu Cos, PDG Cornel Dinca, DGE Petre Diculescu, various PDGs, Rotarian Dorin Prunariu, the first

Romanian astronaut, who gave also a very interesting address. A delegation of 35 Rotarians headed by the

incumbent DG Marian Mocan and ICC Chair Marian Uram also joined in later on. Israel-Romania ICC

members largely contributed to the success of the Jerusalem Institute. The ICC Chair shared in the farewell

party of the exiting Romanian Ambassador and also met with the new Ambassador. The ICC, and PP Victor

Steinberg in particular, are very active in the "Save a child's heart" project and their contribution is

extremely important and highly appreciated.

Israel-Holland: Chair PP Mari Harel of the Sharon-Hertzlyia RC.

The Chair and his wife have joined the Israel-France ICC in order to help them realize the trip to Euro –

with Dutch Rotarians with the aim to further relations and cooperation.

Israel-Germany: Chair PP Laura Netzer, of the Rehovot RC.

A very large number of German Rotarians attended the Rotary Institute held in Jerusalem last November.

Important activities in progress / Actions importantes en cours

- 31 -


“Save a child heart “ - It is a project started by ICC Israel- Romania a few

years ago, and consist in chirurgical interventions on the children hearts

with different congenital malformations. The romanian part cover the

costs of preliminary investigation , lab analisis and the transportation to

Israel of the children together with their mother ; and the Israelian part

cover the costs of staying in hospital . The surgery intervention are covered

by other resourses , special in cooperation with Gift of Life organisation

and others NGOs .

Until now, more than 50 children have a new life . Now a vocational team

of doctors are in Israel . They will received a 6 month training in Cildren

neo natal heart interventions .The Romanian part covered all the cost

included a diurna to the 5 members of the medical team .At the end they

shoud be capable to make this kind of surgical intervention in Romania .

4. Any financial problems with ICCs / Problemes financiers des CIP No financial problem.

Comments/Observations Being GETS Coordinator at Jerusalem Institute I added my contribution to the ICC GETS materials, slides and presentation and I will be opened to repet this operation in the future . At Jerusalem GETS the ICCs training Sessions (45 min each ) include English , German and French class .also a sesion for DGNs training in English .

Being a training leader, I continous sustain the importance of training in the developing of the ICC.s in our Rotary world .With no suficient informations for a DG, DGE and DGN, about what is their role and responsabilities regards ICC`s and which are the windows that our ICC`s can open, it will be very difficult to be efficient .

. During my training at the International Assembly in 2011 and 2012, always,

when the disscutions were about international service and how to find partners , the

ICC`s were mentioned .

In my country Romania ,during one Rotary year, we have 4 meetings which

coagulate the acctivities of all ICC`s that we have .

- 32 -


The first one, is usually in September and we call it - ICC National Meeting

and Seminary-;it is a session where after a general presentation of ICC` S ,

every chair, reports and presents his activites in front of the representants

of every club . At the end, we have an answers and questions session . The

time line is one full day for this activities .In the last September it was at

Baia Mare in the north of Romania . We were honored by the presence of

our Chair of the Executive Council Gianni Jandolo and IPChair Tony

Polsterer.

The second meeting, is during PETS , when we have a special session

where the ICC `s materials and slides , will be presented to the elect

Presidents . Usually we have one hour reseved for this meeting.

The third one, is during District Assemblies, where the clubs representants

will be informed about the program , about each of one of the existing ICC

and how to develop the activities .

At the District Conference , we have always a presentation about our

achivements during one Rotary year ,where a few ICC`s chairs are invited

to describe the most important activities. If there is someone who wants to

share a message, it is a good opportunity to do it at the main Rotary event

in the District .

Now we are working on our web site , where we have info about all our

ICC`s , ICC`s chairs and their contact data .It will be better if we will have

informations and details about every individual ICC sent regulary by every

chair, to actualize every national session .We also permanently have a ppt

with general info regards ICC` s, which was presented at the last ICC`s

seminary .

Regular informations about diferent ICC`s meetings , activities,

anouncemens, invitations etc are sent to the clubs by our District

secretary.Myself and our chairs have the responsability to comunicate with

the clubs using the District Secretary chanel .

- 33 -


On the Governor oficial letter, newsletters, facebook there are always

informations about our activities .

At the Rotaract District Conference Rotaract PETS and the other rotaract

meeting, ICC`s are always present with a presentation and invitations . This

is very important, specialy to strenghton our relation with rotaract ,with a

long term effect in our membership specialy becouse our goal is to have a

minimum 15 % of our members from Rotaract .

At the end, I want to conclude and to say that the role of the

ICC`s in finding partners for humanitarian and service projects, developing

peace and understanding, exchanging ideas ,intercultural exchages and

cooperations, developing twinings clubs it`s unic and sustainable .

Specialy now, when our Foundation go forward in a new era ,when

partenering is esential for new type of grands, the ICC`s can open many

esential windows, making easier our way to the future .

So the devoloping of ICC`s and the extending of our network in all our

world is esentialy. Don`t expect that someone will came and invite us in

.We shoud keep our unity, continuie to promote, and to fight to extend

our program everywhere; in this way, sure, we`ll succed ,for the future of

Rotary , for our future .

members from Turkey will either participate actively as staff members or attend meetings developing new

relations with the Rotarians coming from different countries.

Turkey-Germany: Sabri Kurdoğlu Münir Gökmen

The activities of this committee can be grouped as follows:

1. Youth Forum

Istanbul Galatasaray RC has been doing Youth Forums since years and decided to hold an

International Forum during the past Rotary Year. This Rotary Year this will be organized again.

Last year the forum was organized with the support of Worms RC and Ortenau RC from Germany

projects which involved young people as explained in the next item.

This Rotary Year the teachers will be from Music Schools and German group will come during

organising exchange programs, developing twin-club relations and participating in global

grant projects. Moreover, she suggested that the ICC Turkey-France Meeting be held in

I am Emre GEZGIN , president - ICC FRANCE / TURQUIE,

We have decided to open a new page to give speed to relations between Turkey and ICC

France that has been going on slow ( or ineffective) for a long time.

Primarily, to do this, we found necessary to address the issue in a methodical perspective

after creating an action plan.

We focused on two main elements .

1) EFFECTIVELY ESTABLISHING TWIN CLUBS BETWEEN TWO COUNTRIES

- ETHNICITY & CULTURAL AFFINITY

Focusing on the clubs whose members are Turkish origin.

Determination of the members who are French-speaking or who have cultural or

professional ties with France.

- DEMOGRAFIC SIMILARITIES

To give priority to cultural and economic structure similarity

- THE EASENESS OF TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES

Focusing on the cities which have transportation facilities directly to Turkey.

- COMMON INTEREST FIELDS - CLUBS DES LOISIRS - FELLOWSHIPS

The mutual coordination of hobby groups.

2) PREPARATION FOR A GROUND OF GLOBAL GRANT PROJECT BETWEEN THE

TWO COUNTRIES

- TURKEY - FRANCE AXIS

Targeting the clubs whose members are Turkish origin.

- FRANCE - TURKEY AXIS

Establishing a communication priority with the clubs which have members who are

French speaking or who have cultural and professional ties with France.

This is İmren Aloba , president - ICC ITALIA / TURCHIA........

I am excited , curious , anxıous and most of all I am Full of Energy /love for iCC İtalia -

Turchia.....

- 48 -


With that, I believe I am able to promote an INTERNATIONAL understanding among the

ROTARIANS........

İn order to promote CONTACTS & FOSTER stronger ties between Rotary clubs and TO

CREATE a CLIMATE to establish friendship among the ROTARIANS ICC has a GREAT

role.........

According to me , HUMAN touch is much more stronger and effective then WORDS

Written on a piece of paper!!!!! I am a firm believer of this.

To accomplish this GOAL , I made a visit to D. 2100 . I have visited the Clubs Beginning

from NAPELS to almost Reggıo Calabria.... I Attended their mtgs , had Dinners, organized

private mtgs with the presidents and I gave many presentatıons .......

I received THE GREAT Rotarıan welcome and friendship which Gave me profound

Energy to continue!!

Following the invitatıon by the " Med. peace İnitiatıve " I had a very fruitful meeting Wıth

Enrico Paratore.(reggio Calabria R.C )

I spend thıs year to reach the other İtalian DISTRICTS ,..(. İtaly has 13 DISTRICTS!!)

Considering the fact that they had no contacts with our R.Clubs prior to this date , I had to

mail over and over in order to establish friendship!!....unfortunately , some clubs were so

slow to answer and to cooperate...

I became a member of their DISTRICT WEB SITE (D. 2100 /İtaly. )and I continuously

shared projects and news of our Rotary...

I wrote an article in their " Rotary Magazine " which Was greatly appraciated by all And

received lots of comments.....

I put a strong emphasis on the " Twin Clubs " ; as of now We have seven Turkish R.

Clubs requesting to have " Twin Clubs "which has been announced in D. 2100 Web Site.

Kusadası RC & PALERMO " Teatro del Sole " became TWin Clubs.We will have an

exchange visit next year....

Our Dıstrıct had a proposal from the RC CROTONE and several CALABRIA R. Clubs to

visit our District which will be organized next year....

As a result of their interest , I am in the process of organising a Friendship Exchange with

Italian..........................

I was the Host Rotarian and tour GUIDE for our guests during the INST 20-B in

Kusadası.....

we had an invitatıon from PALERMO T. Del Sole Club .... I am working on the issue!!

During my stay in New York City I attanded to " Brooklyn Bridge " RC mtgs , fot two

Weeks I had a special session introducing İCC......
