== Rank Eligibility ==
Rank Eligibility shall be determined based on tenure, time in rank, and accrued Points.

== Promotion Requirements ==
As we don't have a lot of statistical data to work with regarding how quickly people will be (for example) accruing Points toward advancement, the eligibility requirements for each rank presented below will be subject to revision if they are determined to be improperly calibrated.

== Rank Rewards, Privileges and Duties ==
Each rank should come with some tangible reward and/or privilege so that progression gives a meaningful sense of accomplishment and progress.  However, lack of rank should ''not'' lock anyone out of participation in community / org Activities.

Other rewards beyond those currently listed are to be determined.
