===Election and Promotion of Fellows===
[[Consuls]] will review the point scorse scores each month as part of their preparation of the Board [[Agendae|Agenda]]. Those members in good standing who have received sufficient points for election or promotion will be added to the Agenda, along with a brief description of the nature of their contributions.
Normally, these nominations will be placed in the [[Consent Calendar]], as they are unlikely to be controversial.
After election, Consuls will send a letter of congratulations and a [[Certificate of Fellowship]] signed (electronicalyelectronically) by the President and Secretary, and bearing the Seal of the Corporation. Both will indicate the rank held and an invitation to receive the insignia at the following [[Annual Convention]]. Otherwise they will be eligible to purchase the insignia.
Should the honoree be unable to attend the Annual Convention in the calendar year of the award, the presentation may be delayed until the following year.
[[Consuls]] will track the contributions of non-members in parallel with their tracking of member contributions, using the same point values.
Those non-members who have achieved at least 2000 points shall be added to the next available Board [[Agenda]] as an item of New Business (not the [[Consent Calendar]]). Directors may also nominate candidates for reasons they feel compelling. If a significant portion of their contribution is not something tracked by the Fellowship system, the 2000 point minimum is waived. (Point minimum per Board Policy, June 2013)
Should a candidate be declined for such honor by the Board, they must improve their score sufficiently to equal the next higher rank before they may be nominated again. (e.g.: A non-member with enough points for FAS/3 who is denied honorary fellowship may not be nominated again until his points are sufficient for FAS/2.) If nominated for untracked cause, they must make an additional untracked contribution to be nominated again.
Society members are not eligible for consideration for Honorary Fellowship.
Upon election, Consuls will prepare a letter of notice and a [[Certificate of Fellowship]], both indicating the rank and the former explaining the privileges appurtaining appertaining thereunto.
