I'm not sure what you mean.
Nobody really recognizes rank from one organization to another. Sure, out of courtesy they may informally recognize it, but there are no enforced standards across the board that are adhered to. I guess what I am saying is that anybody can really give any rank that they want. Nobody else has to recognize it, but that goes both ways. If outside recognition doesn't matter to someone, they can do whatever they want. If recognition does matter, then you need to become part of an established organization and follow their rules.
