So that we have a record of it, please be advised:
Prior to our last RA meeting, our chancellor confirmed to me, and several executive branch and Guild officers, that he had approved the purchase of the fourth sim (up to US$1000) and expenditures of up to US$700 (directed by the Guild). SIm to be purchased 1 August for delivery 1 September. The Treasurer's also been authorized to start taking pre-reservations at the recommended (and now approved) price list presented at the prior RA meeting.
