The work of some Committees of The Augustan Society, Inc., being complex and needing substantial technical expertise, it has not always proven possible to adequately staff such Committees from the membership. At one time, Committee Chairmen were authorized to name non-member consultants to their Committees to provide such expertise.

The Board has now banned the appointment of non-member consultants. Those who were members of Committees at the time the ban took effect are grandfathered in, and may continue to serve for the tenure of the Chairman.

Unlike Augustans, non-member consultants' tenure expires when the Chairman leaves office. The new Chairman will have to obtain leave from the Board to continue such non-member consultants in office, if desired.

Augustan members must constitute the majority of all Committees at all times. Should that happen through attrition or otherwise, said Committee will be barred from making recommendations on Board recognition, registration, or approval or certification of lineages until that balance is corrected. It shall be the responsibility of the Chairman of the Committee to appoint new members or to dismiss non-member consultants.
