Changes
clarification of process
Note: The Augustan Society does not claim to be a definitive authority on the legitimacy of any title. The recognition of such is a matter of internal protocol and for the use of the Society in reviewing decisions on how to address various individuals in Society publications and correspondence.
Titles are reviewed either upon 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 conclusion, the Committee will submit a recommendation to the Board for final recognition. 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.
Review of potential removal of recognition is done at the discretion of the [[Royalty & Nobility Committee Chairman]], and again a recommendation for change 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 such changes.
