Michelle is beyond amazing, end of story. Best of luck to the new incoming GC, and hope she can fill the very big shoes.

For nearly a decade, I worked (sometimes closely, sometimes not as closely) with Michelle Paulson. She dazzled me with her brilliance and her care for Wikimedia and Wikimedians around the globe. Anytime that I needed someone to fight with me because a Wikimedian was in some way threatened, I never had to check - because I knew that Michelle was either there ahead of me, or right besides me.
She is unwavering in her care for Wikimedians - she feels that calling very deeply. Wikimedia owes much to her.
But speaking personally, I've seen the toll that it took on her, and I've felt a touch of it myself. Michelle - go take a good long break. You've earned it. Well done, my friend. Well done.
