- Membership levels
- Senior requires evidence of at least 4 of 9 criteria: awards, media features, keynote talks, key roles in organisations, influence on standards, methods, research, innovations, judging.
- Fees
- The charter refers to the guild's fee schedule, but the pages read (charter, membership, join form) state no amounts.

- Geography

Why "Membership" gets refused
Accepted in 12% of challenged petitions (22 of 188); not an approval rate.
The entry requirements do not amount to outstanding achievement. A fee, years of experience, a degree or a member’s referral is not the threshold this criterion demands.
