My vision for the nobiliary activities of The Augustan Society, Inc., include:


Royalty & Nobility Committee

The Royalty & Nobility Committee is composed of the Royalty & Nobility Committee Chairman, the chairmen of other committees assigned to the Royalty & Nobility Department, such additional members as the Chairman sees fit, and the President and Headquarters Staff as ex officio members.

The Chairman is named by the President and serves at his pleasure. The members are named by the Chairman, and serve at his pleasure.

All activities of the Royalty & Nobility Department fall under the control of this Committee unless the Board or Chairman has created another Committee and charged them with responsibility.


Recognition of Fontes Honorum

Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish the standards by which to judge fontes honorum to determine if they should be recognized by the Society.

Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish a list of those fontes honorum that have been deliberately recognized by the Society.

Proposal: The Society should maintain and keep private a list of all fontes honorum that have been examined and found unworthy of recognition by the Society, along with the reasons for the decision.


Recognition of Titled Nobility

Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish the standards by which to judge if a claimed title of nobility is worthy of Society recognition, including such titles as may attach thereunto.

Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish a list of those individuals whose titles of nobility have been recognized by the Society.

Proposal: The Society should maintain and keep private a list of those individuals whose claim to titles of nobility have been examined and found unworthy of recognition by the Society, along with the reasons therefore.


Recognition of Untitled Nobility

Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish the standards by which to judge if a claim to untitled (or personal) nobility is worthy of Society recognition, including such honorifics as may attach thereunto.

Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish a list of those individuals whose untitled (personal) nobility have been recognized by the Society.


Recognition of Gentility

This is a very difficult issue, as it requires the Society to define "gentleman"; something this Committee has expressed great fear of attempting. It may prove an impossible task.

Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish the standards by which to judge if an individual possesses gentility worthy of Society recognition.

Proposal: The Society should maintain and publish a list of those individuals whose gentility has been recognized by the Society.
