Please join me in welcoming Arne to the board and congratulating Michael on his re-appointment. On behalf of the board I would like to thank all those involved in facilitating the process and making these appointments possible.
Thanks to everybody for the welcome - and especially to the chapters for nominating me in the first place. I'm very happy that I can further my involvement in Wikimedia in this important position. After many years with a chapter's hat on - I'm excited about working for Wikimedia's mission from a different perspective.
Best, Arne
