# Any member of the Company, or [[Headquarters staff]], may nominate someone to membership. This nomination should be addressed to the [[Rose Chancellor]] or such assistant as he may name.
# Headquarters staff will review the nominee to confirm that they meet all of the qualifications for membership, including being a member in [[Good Standing]] of The Augustan Society.
# Nominees who have not had their membership in an Order of Chivlary or other qualifying group recognized by the Society will be invited to petition for such recognition.
# Their qualification confirmed, Headquarters staff will inform the [[Rose Chancellor]] or such assistant as he may name, who will place the nomination on the next available Agenda for the [[Rose Council]]. As such meetings are normally rare, he will also notify the ''[[Magister Rosae]]'' so that the latter could elect to move up the date of the next meeting.
# The Rose Council votes to extend an invitation to membership. Note that when the Rose Council fails to muster a quorum and the Directors present at the next regular [[Board]] meeting are seated as the Council, no votes to extend invitations will be taken, as the Board only deals with urgent matters.
# Upon the vote to invite, the Rose Chancellor will extend an invitation, accompanied by a petition for membership. This is normally done by mail, though in some cases email may be appropriate. The Rose Chancellor may ask Headquarters staff to send the petition, or he may ask them to send the letter as well.
# When the petition and payment of entry fees are received at Headquarters, [[Headquarters staff]] will send a letter of welcome, a Certificate of Membership, a copy of the Rule of the Order, a membership card, and the appropriate insignia. They will also notify the ''Magister Rosae'', put a notice in the next Rose Council Agenda, and send notices for publication to the [[Rosarum Editor]], [[Augustæum Editor]], and the [[Assistant Editor for ENS]].
