phones (and intercom) approved

My motion was carried. Council approved getting new cordless phones (with an intercom feature) for the RASC Toronto Centre CAO. I'm going to look for the following features:

• 3 stations, i.e. base unit, and 2 remote stations with charger stands
• intercom communication between each handset, ideally all three
  
• astronomer-friendly display and keypad lighting, i.e. amber or red
• speaker phone, so to facilitate computer work or physical activity
• excellent range and clarity, particular when used inside the metal-framed GBO
• no interference from or to our wifi network
  
• without digital answering machine, to keep costs down
• expandability, in case we want to add more handsets
