<li>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 to send the petition, or he may ask them to send the letter as well.</li>
<li>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 Webmaster for ENS]].</li>
