[ANSTHRLD] Augmentation?

[Etienne de St. Amaranth]

Howdy all!

My company is laying people off today so I have been a little busy.  I do 
apologize for the delay in replying.  (So far I do still have a job.)

Daniel's write-up includes most of the salient technical points (if not all 
of the technical points) on the mechanics of how to accomplish what was 
done this past weekend.  So, I'll focus on specifics to this case.

1. The Crown has permission from Friedrich's widow to presume, to conflict, 
or any similar action to enable this act on the Crown's part.  I'll be 
getting the Crown a letter with the wording we need (for her to sign) in 
order to move forward with this.  I will likely need some document to 
certify for the records that she is in fact his heir (Mari and I discussed 
that Saturday night) so I will be looking into that.

2. The text and the Crown independent of the text made very clear that this 
augmentation is the recipients' CHOICE TO ACCEPT.  The recipients can 
decline if they feel uncomfortable or, really, for any reason.  They have 
to consciously choose to accept the augmentation using Friedrich's arms (or 
an element thereof) because the Crown cannot specify the form of the 
augmentation and force them to accept it.  The Crown has granted them an 
augmentation for a specific reason and for a specific purpose.  The Crown 
has offered a form of augmentation, with appropriate permissions, that 
would really well meet this purpose.  The Crown asked the recipients at the 
time if they accepted; I will be following up on that individually with the 
recipients and will probably provide them a letter to sign to go up with 
the submission.

3. The text specified three things that require follow-up.
   A. The recipients are to consult with the principal herald on the form. 
-- I will work with them (or delegate as needed) to insure that the form 
used by each individual is compliant with the rules relating to 
augmentations and the Laws of Arms.
   B. The recipients may use the arms as a whole or an element thereof.  -- 
It is certainly possible that Friedrich's full arms would simply look 
aesthetically awful on their arms (depending on how it was placed, and 
where, and the underlying charges).  There is leeway in the application of 
this augmentation.
   C. The recipients are to speedily work with me to get this 
registered.  -- Each will go through commentary and will be reviewed by the 
CoA.

Between Daniel's write-up and my post, what other questions can I answer?
