'''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.
==[[Recognized Recognition of Membership & Rank in Orders of Chivalry]]==
Upon petition and payment of established fees, the [[Chivalry Committee]] will consider recognition of membership and rank in recognized Orders of 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 Such recognitions are not withdrawn by a subsequent disqualification of the Order (again save in exceptionally fraudulent circumstances).
'''Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish a list of those [[Recognized Orders of Chivalry]] which the Society accepts as having fought in the Holy Lands during the Crusades, or which is a legitimate descendant of such an Order, for the purposes of qualifying Crusader Class petitioners to the [[Society of Descendants of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem]].'''
==[[Postnominals]]==
There is presently a list of postnominals (and their definitions) on the main website at <[httphttps://augustansociety.org/cpageindex.phpcfm?ptfuseaction=44 page.viewPage&pageID=1490&nodeID=1 augustansociety.org/cpageindex.phpcfm?ptfuseaction=page.viewPage&pageID=1490&nodeID=441]>. It is inadequate in scope, undocumented in source, and comes without the full support of the Chivalry Department (it being a [[Webmaster]] project).
This list needs to be expanded to include all Postnominals:
'''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.'''
==''Guide to Orders of Chivalry''==
The present ''Guide to Orders of Chivalry'' has been withdrawn from sale to to it's having been rendered remarkably obsolete by the passing of time. A new edition would require substantial work by the [[Chivalry DepartmentCommittee]], but the result could benefit both our treasury and our reputation.
'''Proposal: The Society should publish a new edition of the ''Guide to Orders of Chivalry'', and to produce further editions as changes in the field dictate.'''
