Thanks for this announcement, Ilario. Congratulations to all on the Board of WMCH, and a most warm welcome to Micha.
And while it's not quite time for goodbyes, I am very sad to hear that Charles is moving on. At WMF, we too will miss his relentless enthusiasm, his strong collaborative instincts, his endless desire to improve and grow. Those qualities have been well admired and they will be well missed.

FYI an official message from Wikimedia CH:
Dear all,
Wikimedia CH held its annual General Assembly on 21 March. We're pleased to announce that all of the Board re-candidated and were re-elected. We're even more pleased to welcome a new, seventh Board member: Micha Rieser ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Micha).
Besides being an active administrator on the German Wikipedia, he has also been our Wikipedian in Residence both at the Swiss Federal Archives and the National Library. He's currently doing the job again at the Basel University Library - this time without part-funding by WMCH. We trust that his personal network among GLAMs will be an asset for us, and he's an all-round great guy anyway (you can follow him on Twitter: @MLRzh)
People come, people go: Charles Andrès, our current Chief Scientific Officer (in charge of projects and collaborations), has decided to move back to France for family reasons. His last day in the Lausanne office will be 30 June.
Charles has been around the French Wikipedia since 2007, joined our Board in 2010, became our President and finally made the move to CSO. He has given a lot of time and effort to the movement, and those who know him will miss his relentless enthusiasm for new ideas and projects (you can still check him out @chandreswp). The Board will consider the replacement process, and after 30 June our Board members Stephane Coillet-Matillon and Frédéric Schütz will handle the interim.
Best regards,
Patrick Kenel, President
