Year	M	D	Item	Outcome	Comment
1699 AN	III	22	Petition for a Decree of Annulment (Ayesha al-Osman petitioner v. Isor Verion respondent)	Hearing Authorised	The petitioner accused the respondent of infidelity, marital neglect, desertion, treasonable associations, and heresy. The High Presidium was convinced of the merit of the case and dispatched Ahmst Mairstranin Abner Shas of the Adjutant General's Corps and his retinue to Shirekeep as its duly appointed bailiff to serve a summons upon Isor Verion and to bring him back to Chryse by any appropriate method within his means. The respondent fled to Cimmeria and subsequent correspondence has been of a vexatious nature. A unanimous decision was made to hear the petition in the absence of the respondent; a representative being appointed to uphold his interest.
1699 AN	XII	20	Decision Pertaining to the Matter Previously Discussed in Camera	Approved	Authorisation to proceed was given regarding a matter of importance, the nature of which was not to be discussed with any unauthorised person below the Archonic/Higher Executive grades of Benacia Command, the Honourable Company, or the Nationalist & Humanist Party.

1703 AN	V	12	Sanama	Concluded	Discussion regarding Sanama following its civil war and departure from the Raspur Pact. Communalism discussed. Egalitarian heresy. Difference to communism is not a meaningful one. Meeting briefly interrupted by repeated shouts of "Marg bar Tudeh kuffar". Order restored. Resumption of oil imports exceeds in terms of need that of the maintenance of ideological purity. Recommendation that visitors to and from Sanama shall no longer be subject to the Rite of Exorcism was accepted.
