Recognition of Promotion of Rank in Orders of Chivalry
As The Augustan Society, Inc., will Recognize Membership & Rank in Orders of Chivalry, and as such individuals may at times be promoted to higher ranks, it is thus necessary that there be a procedure to recognize promotions.
The primary responsibility for considering advancements in rank is delegated to Headquarters Staff, who will consider requests for such amendmendments without requiring a specific petition form or fee.
Headquarters Staff should consult such materials as may be subitted in support of the request, and should ask for additional data if it is felt insufficient.
Headquarters Staff should consult with the Chivalry Committee if they have any doubts about the appropriateness of the request, or if convincing supporting documentation is not provided.
Headquarters Staff may, at their discretion, refer any such request to the Chivalry Committee if they have any doubt that recognition is approrpriate. There will be no fee for this referral, though the Chivalry Committee may create a petition form to be used.
Once it has been decided that recognition is apropriate, Headquarters Staff will create an entry into the membership roster and inform the petitioner, the appropriate Webmaster, the Augustæum Editor, the Chivalry Committee Chairman, and the Board of the change in rank.
Should the requestor wish, a new Certificate of Recognition will be issued upon payment of a Certificate Fee.
