Once the petition and payment are in hand at HQ, the procedure is:
# [[Assistant Secretary]]: Check the [[Master RosterMembership Book]] to confirm the petitioner's status as a former member.
# Assistant Secretary: Place his reelection on the next available Agenda for [[Board]] review and approval. The Board will want to know the petitioner's reasons for dropping his membership and returning.
:# If the Board rejects the petition, so notify the petitioner and refund all but the [[Petition Fee]] (presently $15).
:# If the Board tables the petition for additional information, contact the petitioner and place the petition on the next Board agenda.
:# If the Board re-elects the petitioner to membership, proceed as follows:
# Assistant Secretary: Find the petitioner's former [[Membership Number]] from the Master RosterMembership Book, or assign one if necessary.
# Assistant Secretary: Add the date returned (the date of the Board meeting where elected) to the Master Roster.
# HQ: Create a new Membership Card.
