Three of our volunteers hold bachelor degrees and one is a nurse;</div> <div> <B>6.</B> No one who works within the organization of the Commission is allowed to receive any honors, awards or benefits from anyone outside of the organization itself. On more than one occassion we have declined honors (knighthoods) out of respect for our policies.

Every claim must be proven authentic or it cannot be certified as true and genuine. To be "<B>provisionally</B>" certified, a claim must achieve over a 70% confidence level, which means the claim is clear, convincing and compelling. For "<B>full</B>" certification, a claim must be beyond any reasonable doubt or achieve at least a 90% level of of solid proof. Anything less than these are rejected as unworthy of board certification. Because of this, our reputation for thoroughness, careful scholarship and accuracy continues to grow.  (See "<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Benguiat Bk BT" ><B>Certification Requirements</B></FONT>") </div> <bR> <div> We certify illustrious ancestors, either noble or royal, true knighthoods, and current royal or noble titles that are genuine.There are so many fake nobles, royals and knights out there that even the real ones are often looked upon with suspicion.

They will not vary.  Criticisms are expected, but the Commission will not enter into arguments or defend itself. Its policy can be expressed in the<IMG SRC="4033709c0.jpg" border=0 width="112" height="156" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> old adage: "<B>Losers knock, winners don't have to.</B>" Winners always win out in the end, because time is on the side of truth. The point is, we have neither the time or resources, or inclination to do battle with any "would be" experts or fault finders. We have a job to do, and we do not want to be distracted from it or derailed by detractors, who seem to thrive on doing battle, rather than truly helping the cause. </div> <div> Our experience with those who, without making honest inquiry, have judged us, make us all the more appreciative of those who are truly chivalrous in spirit; who are true scholars and gentleman.

We believe this is a very important work worthy of our time, personal sacrifices and earnest efforts. And hope more will join us so we can more fully fulfill our worldwide goals and ideals. We believe that constitutional monarchy is the best form of government that mankind has ever devised for the protection of our individual freedoms and to promote the greatest prosperity on earth.
