My vision for the nobiliary activities of The Augustan Society, Inc., include:
=[[Royalty & Nobility Committee]]=
==[[Royalty & Nobility Committee]]== The Royalty & Nobility Committee is composed of the [[Royalty & Nobility Committee Chairman]], the members chairmen of other committees assigned to the Royalty & Nobility Department, such additional members as he the Chairman sees fit, and the [[President]] and [[ConsulsHeadquarters Staff]] as ex officio members.
The Chairman is named by the President and serves at his pleasure. The members are named by the Chairman, and serve at his pleasure.
All activities of the Royalty & Nobility Department fall under the control of this Committee unless the [[Board]] or Chairman has created another Committee and charged them with responsibility.
==Recognition of ''fons honorum'' in support of chivalric and nobiliary recognitions==
==Recognition of nobility, including titles and postnominals''Fontes Honorum''==
==Recognition of personal nobility, not including titles '''Proposal: The Society should maintain and postnominals==publish the standards by which to judge ''fontes honorum'' to determine if they should be recognized by the Society.'''
==Recognition '''Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish a list of gentility==those ''fontes honorum'' that have been deliberately recognized by the Society.'''
==Maintaining '''Proposal: The Society should maintain and keep private a list of current all ''fontes honorum'' (perhaps extending to reigning monarchs)==that have been examined and found unworthy of recognition by the Society, along with the reasons for the decision.'''
=Library Support=
The Department, either through the main Committee, a sub-committee, or a designated officer, will advise the [[Library|Library Department]] in matters ==Recognition of accession, classification, and deaccession of materials on this subject.Titled Nobility==
'''Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish the standards by which to judge if a claimed title of nobility is worthy of Society recognition, including such titles as may attach thereunto.''' '''Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish a list of those individuals whose titles of nobility have been recognized by the Society.''' '''Proposal: The Society should maintain and keep private a list of those individuals whose claim to titles of nobility have been examined and found unworthy of recognition by the Society, along with the reasons therefore.''' ==Recognition of Untitled Nobility== '''Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish the standards by which to judge if a claim to untitled (or personal) nobility is worthy of Society recognition, including such honorifics as may attach thereunto.''' '''Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish a list of those individuals whose untitled (personal) nobility have been recognized by the Society.''' ==Recognition of Gentility== This is a very difficult issue, as it requires the Society to define "gentleman"; something this Committee has expressed great fear of attempting. It may prove an impossible task. '''Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish the standards by which to judge if an individual possesses gentility worthy of Society recognition.''' '''Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish a list of those individuals whose gentility has been recognized by the Society.''' ==Library Support== The department, either through the main committee, a sub-committee, or a designated officer, will advise the [[Library]] in matters of accession, classification, and deaccession of materials on this subject. ==Article Solicitation== The department, either through the main committee, a sub-committee, or a designated officer, will solicit articles on this subject for ''[[Augustan Omnibus|The Augustan Omnibus]]'', in cooperation with the [[Omnibus Editor]].
