clarification of process
<li>The Justiciar General may approve the draft certificate, or remand it to [[Headquarters Staff]] for amendment. The Justiciar General will then cause the draft certificate to be sent to all members of the Heraldry Committee and the Rolls Editor or Production Editor. [7] The Justiciar General will direct those receiving a copy to review the blazon, translation [if any], and illustration. The Rolls Editor or Production Editor will also participate in this review.</li>
<li>Any discussion among members of the Committee occurs, and a vote for approval or disapproval is taken. Approval by Note that a favorable recommendation requires assent from a majority of the members of the Heraldry Committee shall be understood , less any who are obliged to be an affirmative vote by recuse themselves. The number, but not the majority identity, of membersthose assenting must be submitted to Headquarters. [8]</li>
<li>Upon [[Board]] approval, Headquarters Staff will circulate the final certificate for the reviews and signatures of the Justiciar General and the [[President]]. This may be done electronically at the discretion of each officer. That done, they will affix the [[Seal of the Corporation]] and send the signed certificate to the petitioner.</li>
<li>One such defect would be if the petitioner resides in a country with a legitimate national heraldic authority, and who has not previously obtained a grant (by whatever name) from said agency.</li>
<li>If the petition contains chivalric postnominals or titles, or if additaments are requested which are contingent on a noble title, these must first be approved by either the [[Chivalry Committee]] or [[Royalty & Nobility Committee]] as appropriate before the heraldic matters are considered. [[Headquarters Staff]] will generally evaluate requests for academic, learned society, and military postnominals. If the Approval by the Heraldry Committee shall be understood to be an affirmative vote by the majority of members. petition contains a claim for inherited arms, the genealogical evidence for such a right must first be evaluated by the [[Genealogy Committee]]. Additional fees may apply to these evaluations. If the petitioner elects not to have such titles, postnominals, or other honors mentioned on his Certificate of Arms Registration, these approvals are not required.</li>
<li>English-language blazons received from official governmental heraldic jurisdictions (England, Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and South Africa) will be given priority in cases of any conflict between various written blazons or between written blazons and submitted illustrations. In other cases of a conflict between blazons or between blazons and submitted illustrations, or as needed, the Justiciar General or one of his Vice-Justiciars will contact the petitioner to resolve such conflicts. This priority treatment does not extend to official or governmental registrations which are not in English because of the issues created by the need for translation.</li>
