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.

Michelle was one of my personally favourite employees of WMF with which I
had occasion to meet face to face - so I wish her great continuation of her
carrier somewhere else and be missing her.
Hopefully, our new General Counsel will be even better.
