Presently, this work may be cursory, with only spot-checking of sources, or it may be an in-depth review with most sources verified, as it may seem necessary and appropriate to the Committee. This may or may not be an adequate process for the future.
'''Proposal: The Society should work toward articulating maintain and publishing publish the standards to be applied to the review and approval of lineages, including the question of when an in-depth survey might be needed.'''
'''Proposal: The Society should work toward articulating maintain and publishing publish the standards to be applied to the certification of lineages.'''
Note please a distinction here between "approving" and "certifying" a lineage. The former means our confidence is sufficient in the lineage as a whole to admit someone to membership in a subgroup. The latter means the Society places our reputation behind each item (excepting those after 1940 for which documentation is not offered).
'''Proposal: The Society should work toward publishing publish in a suitable form those lineages that have been approved or certified. Such to redact most data more recent than the latest release of US Census data(presently 1940).'''
==[[Descents from Antiquity]]==
This a project to propose and prove or disprove descents from antiquity. This will involve publishing proposed lineages as a tool to generate discussion and consensus. A final report on each link will be published in The Augustan Omnibus.
'''Proposal: The Society should work to more clearly specify and publish the purpose and scope of the Descents from Antiquity project.'''
'''Proposal: The Society should work to more clearly identify the individual lines that it attempts to prove or disprove with the Descents from Antiquity project.'''
'''Proposal: The Society should work to produce reports on each of the lines studied on a regular basis until each is proven or disproven, with the final reports on each published in the [[Omnibus]].'''
==[[Family of Augustans]]==
The objective of this project is to computerize lineages of Augustans whose genealogies are stored at headquarters or have appeared in various Society publications with the intent to demonstrate our interrelatedness, and to identify common ancestors, both for the sake of fraternity and to assist one another with genealogical research.
'''Proposal: The Society should work to document and publish the process by which the Family of Augustans project is to be pursued.'''
'''Proposal: The Society should work to place the combined lineages online for use by members and possibly others. This should take the form of a useful web site, not just a collection of GED files.'''
