Rotary International President Holger Knaack declared on 1 December six Rotary members to be RI directors for 2022-24.

The RI Bylaws provide that if the general secretary does not receive a duly proposed challenge to the selection of a zone's nominating committee for director by 1 December, the president shall declare the selection of the nominating committee to be the director-nominee from the zone.

As of 1 December, the general secretary received no proposal of additional candidates from Zones 3, 18, 22, 29, 32, and 34. Therefore, the following members are to be the directors-nominee from their respective zones for election at the 2021 RI convention in Taipei:

Zone 3
Yoshio Sato -- Rotary Club of Okayama South, Japan

Zone 18
Lena J. Mjerskaug -- Rotary Club of Enebakk, Norway

Zone 22
Patrick Chisanga -- Rotary Club of Nkwazi, Zambia

Zone 29
Patricia Merryweather-Arges -- Rotary Club of Naperville, Illinois, USA

Zone 32
Drew Kessler -- Rotary Club of North Rockland (Haverstraw), New York, USA

Zone 34
Jeremy Hurst -- Rotary Club of Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

The general secretary received challenges to the Nominating Committee's selection in Zones 1B (Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Pakistan) and 14 (Italy). An electronic ballot is being prepared for clubs in this zone to select their candidate. The ballot will be live by 31 December and will run, per the RI Bylaws, until 1 March.
