Approval

8.0.7.0. The local council must verify the Summit Rank Application first

Required May not apply Often forgotten

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Which rank is this board of review for?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

A board of review must not occur until after the local council has verified the Summit Rank Application. This is a gate, not a formality, and scheduling around it is how a board gets held that should not have been.

Warning. A hard gate and an easy one to trip. The board must not occur until the local council has verified the Summit Rank Application. Booking the room, the chair and five people before the council has finished is how a board ends up held that should not have been.
