Responsibility for review of proposed recognition lies with the [[Royalty & Nobility Committee]], which has not yet established a procedure or petition forms for such. No recommendation for recognition may be submitted to the Board until such a procedure is established, at least in draft form.
Fees are normally charged for such recognition, but the [[Royalty & Nobility Chairman]], at his sole discretion, may waive such fees when the petition is submitted by a [[Directors|Director]] or a member of the Royalty & Nobility Committee.
That said, the Committee will consider and vote on recommending recognition to the Board. Note that a favorable recommendation requires assent from a majority of the members of the Committee, less any who are obliged to recuse themselves. The number, but not the identity, of those assenting must be submitted to Headquarters.
