=Chivalry= The Chivalry Department of The Augustan Society, Inc., would engage in the following activities:
==Chivalry Committee==
The Chivalry Committee is composed of the [[Chivalry Chairman]], the chairmen of any sub-committees assigned to the Chivalry Department, such additoinal additional members as the Chairman sees fit, and the [[President]] and [[Consuls]] as ex officio members.
The Chairman is named by the President and serves at his pleasure. The members are named by the Chairman, and serve at his pleasure.
==Recognition of Orders of Chivalry==
Presently, the Chivalry Committee will consider recognition of Orders (and organizations of a chivalric nature) only when presented with a petition and payment. Delistings (and occasionally listings) are done motu propicio.
While it seems that the Chivalry Committee have has a very clear idea of what constitutes or disqualifies an Order from respectability, this needs to be documented for the guidance of those who follow. These standards should also be published, so as to offer perspective on our list of recognitions.
'''Proposal #9: The Society should work toward the goal of maintaining and publishing the criteria by which the Society will judge Orders of Chivalry (and organizations of a chivalric nature) worthy of Society recognition or not.'''
'''Proposal #10: The Society should work toward the goal of having a fully comprehensive and public listing of Orders of Chivalry (and organizations of a chivalric nature) which the Society has judged worthy of recognition.'''
'''Proposal #11: The Society should work toward maintaining and keeping private a list of those Orders of Chivalry (and organizations of a chivalric nature) that we have examined and found unworthy, along with the disqualifying conditions, so as to speed reconsideration should those change, and so staff can answer either "yes", "no", or "we haven't yet considered them" as appropriate.'''
