House Recognition Procedure
From Augustan Society Staff Wiki
The Augustan Society, Inc., recognizes royal and noble Houses and fontes honorum. The Royalty & Nobility Committee has established the following procedure to be followed in doing so.
- Any interested party may submit a request for recognition of a fons honorem to Headquarters. Initially, this will be done via mail or email, but it is planned to add the ability to make petion online at our web site.
- Fees required are $285, plus a non-refundable $15 petition fee. Members may receive a 20% discount on the total once approved by the Order of the Augustan Eagle.
- Headquarters will inform the Royalty & Nobility Committee Chairman, who will in turn evaluate the request, gather additional information as required, and submit same to the Royalty & Nobility Committee for evaluation and voting.
- The Committee will evaluate the information presented and vote on whether or not to recommend the Board of Directors recognize the fons honorem or noble house.
- When an affirmative vote equaling a majority of the Committee's membership (excepting those who recuse themselves) has been earned, the Royalty & Nobility Chairman will notify the Assistant Secretary of the Committee’s voting totals.
- The Assistant Secretary will place the Committee’s recommendation on the next available Board agenda.
- The Board will then vote on recognizing the fons honorem or noble house.
- If recognized, the Assistant Secretary (or such officer as records the minutes) will notify:
- The Webmaster who will add the listing to the Society’s web site along with a link to the House in question (if one exists);
- The Augustæum Editor who will add such notice to the next available issue;
- The Royalty & Nobility Committee Chairman; and
- The original petitioner (by mail, if a non-member).
