Regulation 21 outlines the procedures for transmitting papers of business and reports within the Royal Arch Masonic framework. It mandates that a copy of the approved paper of business, along with a printed report of the previous regular and any intervening Especial Convocation proceedings, be sent to all current and past Grand Officers, as well as Metropolitan, Provincial, and District Grand Scribes E., at least seven days prior to the Regular Convocation. Additionally, two copies must be sent to the Scribe E. of each private Chapter, who is responsible for forwarding one copy to the First Principal for member information. Members of the Grand Chapter attending the Convocation receive copies of the business papers. Subscribing members of a Chapter can request these documents by registering their address with the Grand Scribe E. and paying a fee determined by the Committee of General Purposes. This regulation ensures timely communication and access to important Masonic documents for all relevant parties.
