==Recognition of Membership in Orders of Chivalry==
Presently, the Chivalry Committee will consider recognition of rank and membership in recognized Orders only when presented with a petition and payment. Delistings are done only under exceptional circumstances, usually involving deliberate fraud by the individual. Such recognitions are not withdrawn by a subsequent disqualification of the Order (save in exceptionally fraudulent circumstances).
While it seems that the Chivalry Committee have a very clear idea of what constitutes adequate evidence of membership and rank, this needs to be documented for the guidance of those who follow. It is recognized that Orders vary from very public notice to secretive about their memberships, so it won't be a "one size fits all" approach.
Membership in the [[Society of Descendants of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem]] in the Crusader Class requires a recognized membership in an Order of Chivalry which fought in the Holy Lands during the Crusades. To administer this condition, staff need a clear list of which Orders qualify.
'''Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish a list of those Orders of Chivalry which the Society recognizes, and which the Society accepts as having fought in the Holy Lands during the Crusades, or is a legitimate descendant of such an Order.'''
