Note: The Augustan Society does not claim to be a definitive authority on the legitimacy of ''fontes honorum''. The recognition of such are matters of internal protocol and for the use of the Society in reviewing decisions to recognize noble titles, untitled nobility, and orders of chivalry.
''Fontes honorum'' are reviewed either by petition from a member or non-member, by request of other review committees of the Society, or in ''moto proprio'' by the Royalty & Nobility Committee. Upon reaching a favorable conclusion, the Committee will submit a recommendation to the Board for final recognition.
Review of potential removal of recognition is done at the discretion of the [[Royalty & Nobility Committee Chairman]], and again a recommendation for withdrawal of recognition is submitted to the Board for confirmation. Care must be taken to inform other review committees who might have cause to reexamine other recognitions based on this status. It may be prudent to process such withdrawal of recognitions as a batch.
