Nothing in this section precludes young people under the age of sixteen from applying under the procedure described in 11.04-11.12
Options available to those admitted on parental application
A member whose admission was secured under section 11.15 - 11.16 may at any time take one of the following courses of action:
a. continue in membership acquired on the application of parents without making any formal statement;
b. indicate personal acceptance of membership acquired on application of parents and have this personal acceptance formally recognised by the area meeting (the member may in addition desire the appointment of one or two Friends as visitors);
c. resign from membership and, at the same or some later time, seek admission 'by convincement' under the normal procedure;
d. resign from membership without further formality since he or she does not consider himself or herself a member.
A member wishing to follow course b, c or d shall so indicate in writing to the area meeting clerk, whereupon the area meeting shall take such action as it thinks appropriate. It should record in its minutes the action taken.
