'''Proposal: The Society should maintain and keep 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 questions about them appropriately.'''
Note that the appropriate staff response to a query about an Order that has been reviewed and found unworthy is, "We are studying this organization to determine if we should recognize it." This may get old when the same answer is offered years later, but this provides the needed data without ever saying a bad word about such Orders. In this way one hopes not to poison ground where one may wish someday to tread, nor to invite litigation.
