2. It is the responsibility of the Crown giving arms or other awards, to notify both the Crux Australis Herald and the Kingdom Chronicler of the award, the date given, and the full name of the recipient within three months.
3. The officers will then ensure the information is added to the Order of Precedence and published in Pegasus.

Signatures=
