Florence,
You've worked tirelessly and skilfully for a long time and have done more for Wikimedia than anyone could have asked. It has long been a comfort to me knowing that you were there in board meetings and I could trust you to do the right thing. You've always understood what we're here to do and never stopped striving to achieve that. I hope whoever replaces you as chair and whoever replaces you as board member can learn from your excellent example and take the foundation forward to the next stage. For you, I think it's time for a well-deserved rest!
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.
Tango
