Rolls Manual: V. Points Page 13 of 35

I. Members Returning to Adria

A member who has left Adria for more than 30 days loses all ranks, titles, and awards. This includes

members who have quit, and members whose memberships have lapsed beyond the 30-day grace period.

The Office of Rolls and Lists will maintain their records for 3 years (longer than that is subject to space

considerations).

Should the member return, they must petition the Imperial Crown for reinstatement of the lost ranks,

titles and awards:

• Status as a landed estate-holder is lost to the member. To head an estate requires continuous

membership for most estates. Once they meet the continuous-membership requirement, the estate

may restore them if the estate so chooses.

• Unless there is a judicial restriction or ban, rank is restored (the points are, after all, on record), as are

titles and awards.

• Registered arms are reinstated (this does not affect the Office of Rolls).

1. Standard Reinstatement

The standard reinstatement reads:

“We understand that the lapse was not due to any prohibition, restriction or ban. Our word is

based on this information. Your membership will show a lapse, which will prevent you (for a time)

from running for or holding an office that requires a continuous membership. Beyond that, We

shall consider your rank, titles, awards, arms, etc. to be restored, subject to the same conditions,

restrictions, etc. (if any) as when your membership expired.” Signed by the Imperial Crown, copied to the

local Crown and pertinent ministers: Chancellor, Rolls, Steward.

2. Backdating Dues

Points are not earned by non-members.

Imperial policy states that a member may backdate his dues to cover a lapse in membership. If a

member lapses, participation does not count. Backdating dues will not allow these points to be

recorded.

The Bylaws state that payment of dues may be required for points conversions from other

organizations. Membership status is not relevent to the Office of Rolls - those points are recorded

as approved by the Imperial Crown.
