RENKAN · Public record
Honorary Board
Recognition records exceptional contributions to RENKAN. Public appearance follows each member’s current account choice. RENKAN also records ceremonial conferrals for recipients without an account.
Contribution framework
Seven grades of contribution, three distinctions, one laureateship.
Every recognised contribution remains part of the public record. Grades describe contribution scope and significance, not rank, office, authority, seniority, or permissions.

How recognition advances
Contribution grades advance after review.
Grades XI–V reflect the accumulated record of recognised work and may advance following review. Grades IV–I recognise exceptional consequence and are conferred by qualitative judgement. Numerical thresholds may establish eligibility for review, but do not themselves confer a distinction or laureateship.
