==[[Senior Sub-Groups]]==
The senior sub-groups are distinguished by having a variety of requirements for entry, which in all cases now includes membership in the Society in [[Good Standing]], registration of arms [[Arms Registration]] with the Society, an entry fee, insignia, and annual dues.
'''Proposal: The Society should oblige the [[Senior Sub-Groups]] to align their offices and define job descriptions for them.'''
This serves as the Society's court of honor, and is one of the highest honors granted. It is limited to 24 members, plus the [[President]] in his capacity as the [[Chief of the Order of the Augustan Eagle]]. It is governed by the [[Eagle Council]], to whom has been assigned the responsibility to set [[Member Benefits]], the [[Warrant of Precedence]], and to have the right of first consideration of any amendments to the [[Mission Statement]]. It is called to meet not less than annually.
In recent years, most participation by [[Eagle Council]] members has been via proxy, despite the meetings being held via teleconference, largely negating the value of their offices.
'''Proposal: The [[Order of the Augustan Eagle]] should repeal the provision of their Rule that permits proxies at meetings.'''
The Noble Company is governed by the [[Rose Council]]. It is called to meet not less than annually.
In recent years, most participation by [[Rose Council]] members has been via proxy, despite the meetings being held via teleconference, largely negating the value of their offices.
'''Proposal: The [[Noble Company of the Rose]] should repeal the provision of their Rule that permits proxies at meetings.'''
