## Membership

Admissions into the UDCF is a very delicate process as different fleets have different needs or goals that they abide by. While doing the application process keep in mind that all fleets are welcome, weather that they are Tier 0 or Tier 5 as we do not discriminate on anyone. Here is the following criteria that you must abide by when doing the application process for any new fleet entering into the UDCF

First step process is the letter of admission to the respected fleet for joining. This is a delicate process and there should be a professional demeanour in the letter at all times for the mail to entry to the UDCF. The mail must be sent to the leader or respected leaders of the new fleet joining the UDCF.

When the response comes back, there are two alternatives. The first is rejection. In that case, reply in formal back to the respected leader and thank them for their time in reading the application to the UDCF. On the other hand, the mail coming back could be an acceptance and in that case, below are the following instructions to follow

I) Make sure the mail message is the respected leader of the applying fleet as only the leader of a fleet has the authorization to join their fleet to the UDCF

II) When the respected fleet is ready to join the following information is required for the formal meeting to be held with the applying the fleet with the UDCF leader, co leader and the diplomat
 a) Fleet name and Tier level
 b) Fleet size and number of members
 c) Leader and Co leader handles

When the new fleet is in the final stages of joining the UDCF, the following must be observed to the new fleet in mail and in the email for the new leader

I) A welcome message to the UDCF and what the goal for the UDCF is to be, and what we expect in credentials for example the weekly meetings and so forth

II) Advise right away that the name change of placing the UDCF in front of the fleet name does not tarnish the their original fleet name in any way and shows all around that they are officially in the UDCF

III) To provide a copy of all documents which states the Rules of UDCF, the Command Structure of UDCF and the Third Party Policies

IV) To provide a copy of the Peace Treaty we have between the UDCF and the COKC so the new fleet knows what to expect from it

V) Instructions on how to invite their fleet members to the United DCF Main and for the leader and co lead only for the United DCF Council

So with that, the final task is to file and document the new fleet into the files of UDCF and maintain a contact with the fleet on anything needed. The Ambassador or rank of the Diplomat is to undertake this formality in representing the UDCF to any new candidate. Good luck with the application process of new fleets for the UDCF!!
