/* Induction to Membership */
The process of induction is rather more complex for this Sub-Group than for others:
# Any member of the Company, or [[Headquarters staffStaff]], may nominate someone to membership. This nomination should be addressed to the [[Rose Chancellor]] or such assistant as he may name.# Headquarters staff 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 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 office of 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 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]] 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]].
The Rose Membership Certificate is created by Headquarters staffStaff, then forwarded to first the Rose Chancellor, then the ''Magister Rosae'' for signatures, then back to Headquarters to receive the corporate seal and be mailed to the new member. Either signature may be applied electronically at the discretion of each officer.
The Rose Membership Card is created and signed by Headquarters staffStaff. The original card is sent with the Certificate of Membership. Thereafter, as each member pays his annual oblation, a new card is made and sent with the next available mailing. Renewal cards are not sent with a cover letter, as they serve primarily as a receipt.
