New subject: Info: Markus Glaser is elected Chair of the Wikimedia Chapters Association Council

Hi Congratulations! I look forward to a continuation of the more "practical and transparent" approach that the Chapters Association has been taking in the past month (and thanks Fae and the rest for starting that). I enjoyed exchanging some ideas with you in London! I hope to see that the Association will soon be able to benefit all the chapters (member or not) :) Jan-Bart On Mar 18, 2013, at 1:58 AM, Markus Glaser <markus.glaser(a)wikimedia.de> wrote:

Hi, thanks for voting and thank you for your trust. Time will show if I can meet your expectations. Thank you, Fae, for all the work you have done so far. I assume I can continue to count on your experience :) In order to get things going, I totally depend on the help and support of the Council members. We also need to involve all chapters and affiliate organisations. Furthermore, I hope for very friendly relations to WMF and their organisations. In order to shape the future of the WCA, please approach me with all comments, criticism and suggestions! There's quite some work ahead of us! Our next milestone will be the Milan conference.

Congrats Markus Now, everyone is looking for future results ;) I'd like to also thank Fae for the good work he has done so far, in an environment which was not always easy. I appreciated your goodwill and ability to keep calm in all circonstances ;) Florence On 3/18/13 6:53 PM, Samuel Klein wrote:

Hi Fae, Wikimedia Deutschland is thankful for Markus' election, and we will support him as best as we can in his future endeavours. But this email is more to you Fae. I wanted to thank you for the work done on the WCA so far. I know it hasn't been easy on you. Nevertheless you kept going forward, pushing and prodding and making sure things would happen, with sometimes great critic, other times hopefully great support. For this I am thankful. Sometimes politics is ungrateful to the hard working, and I am sorry it came to this, but I applaud how you managed all possible situations, and especially how you made sure that the WCA and the spirit of chapters working together live on. I strongly believe that Wikimedia's diversity is one of its biggest strengths, and I am convinced that working towards sustainability of chapters definitely is one way to make sure this diversity lives on. I look forward to working with you on all the tasks still to accomplish, within or outside the WCA.

Thanks Fae indeed for the hard work. It is a pity that things went as they went - and that you had to work under tough circumstances. Of course it is the council as a whole that bears responsibility, but when things go wrong, you get the heat of it... Best, Lodewijk 2013/3/19 Delphine Ménard <notafishz(a)gmail.com>
