What excellent news! Many congratulations to Christian. Michael Chair, WMUK

Congratulations! Since many people in this list might be confused about the use of "State" and "Berlin government" in this context, (if I got it right) this role is about the Senate of Berlin <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senate_of_Berlin> (not the Bundesrat of Germany <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundesrat_of_Germany>).

Wonderful news Christian, and congratulations. I appreciate the thought and consideration for the next steps for WMDE and the community.
