==Procedure for Recognition of Orders==
A Petition for Recognition of an Order (of Chivalry or Organization of a Chivalric Nature) is submitted by any interested party, including the [[Chivalry Committee]] itself, along with any required fee (not assessed against the Committee). The [[Chivalry Committee Chairman|Chairman]] may waive fees for petitions submitted by [[Directors]] or members; he may not do so for non-membersof the Chivalry Committee.
They will then undertake a study of the organization, its ''fons honorum'' (calling on the [[Royalty & Nobility Committee]] for support as needed), and the claims it makes for its history and legitimacy.
