Member activity points.) A clan earns points based off the activity of it's members.
1.) Every A. level member earns 3 points for his clan.
2.) Every B. level member earns 1 point for his clan.
Member participation points.) A clan earns points based off it's members participation in forum hosted events.
1.) For every member who partakes in a Sanctioned Tournament - the clan earns 5/(N/100) points. (N = the number of A or B level members.)
2.) For every member who partakes in a clan war - the clan earns 5/(N/100) points. (Per complete war that has 5+ matches.)
Clan participation points.) A clan earns points based of it's collective participation in forum hosted events.
1.) Every time the clan votes on an issue, regardless of how they cast their vote, they earn 5 points for each A level or B level member.
2.) Every time the clan completes a war, regardless of whether they won or not, they earn 5 points for each A level or B level member.
Now, lets say we have two clans.
Clan A. has:
20 A level members, garnering them 60 M.A. points.
7 members partaking in a sanctioned Tourney, and 3 members partaking in wars, garnering them 500 M.P. points.
Voted on 3 issues, and completed one war, garnering them 80 C.P. points.
This gives them a gross score of 640 points. Now divide that by three... 213.33
Clan B. has:
5 A level members, garnering them 15 M.A. points.
2 members partaking in a sanctioned Tourney, garnering them 200 M.P. points.
Voted on 3 issues, garnering them 15 C.P. points.
This gives them a sum of 230 points. Now, divide that by three... 76.66

Clan A represents the big clan, and clan B the small one. Both are very active on the forums but, because of the size difference in their clans, their points are very different.
The fix:
A clan must earn the qualification points X the total number of members it has in order to receive a commendation.
So:
Quarter:
Tier A. 30 points. Clan A would need, 600 points in a quarter. Clan B would need, 150 points in a quarter.
Tier B. 20 points. Clan A would need, 400 points in a quarter. Clan B would need 100 points in a quarter.
Tier C. 10 points. Clan A would need, 200 points in a quarter. Clan B would need 50 points in a quarter.
We could also do Tiers for Semester and Annual periods.
