==[[Recognized Orders of Chivalry]]==
PresentlyUpon petition and payment of established fees, 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 proprio''.
While it seems that the Chivalry Committee has a very clear idea of what qualifies 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.
==[[Recognized Membership in Orders of Chivalry]]==
PresentlyUpon petition and payment of established fees, the [[Chivalry Committee]] will consider recognition of membership and rank in recognized Orders only when presented with a petition and paymentof Chivalry. 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 Such recognitions are not withdrawn by a subsequent disqualification of the Order (again save in exceptionally fraudulent circumstances).
While it seems that the Chivalry Committee has 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 cannot be a "one size fits all" approach.
'''Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish the standards by which they judge membership and rank in [[Recognized Orders of Chivalry]] (and organizations of a chivalric nature) worthy of recognition.'''
'''Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish a listing of those chivalric memberships recognized, both for present Augustans and for others.'''
==[[Qualifying Orders for SDKLJ]]==
'''Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish a list of [[Postnominals]] used in Society publications, recognized by the Society at any time, granted by the Society, or likely to be of value to members. This list should include Postnominals not currently recognized by the Society for historical purposes, and these should be so flagged.'''
