Hi,

thanks for voting and thank you for your trust. Time will show if I can meet your expectations. Thank you, Fae, for all the work you have done so far. I assume I can continue to count on your experience :)

In order to get things going, I totally depend on the help and support of the Council members. We also need to involve all chapters and affiliate organisations. Furthermore, I hope for very friendly relations to WMF and their organisations.

In order to shape the future of the WCA, please approach me with all comments, criticism and suggestions!

There's quite some work ahead of us! Our next milestone will be the Milan conference.

Cheers, Markus

Congratulations Markus,

We hope you will find the way to free the WCA from all the bureaucracy and create a fresh restart, the future of the WCA is in the understanding of why so few chapters are really participating in the association life.

We assure you and the WCA of our support, we are really looking forward for a rebuilding of the WCA, starting from the basis : what the chapters needs, and what they can offer.

Charles

Hi Fae,

Wikimedia Deutschland is thankful for Markus' election, and we will support him as best as we can in his future endeavours.

But this email is more to you Fae. I wanted to thank you for the work done on the WCA so far. I know it hasn't been easy on you. Nevertheless you kept going forward, pushing and prodding and making sure things would happen, with sometimes great critic, other times hopefully great support. For this I am thankful. Sometimes politics is ungrateful to the hard working, and I am sorry it came to this, but I applaud how you managed all possible situations, and especially how you made sure that the WCA and the spirit of chapters working together live on. I strongly believe that Wikimedia's diversity is one of its biggest strengths, and I am convinced that working towards sustainability of chapters definitely is one way to make sure this diversity lives on.

I look forward to working with you on all the tasks still to accomplish, within or outside the WCA.

Best,

Delphine

Thanks Fae indeed for the hard work. It is a pity that things went as they went - and that you had to work under tough circumstances. Of course it is the council as a whole that bears responsibility, but when things go wrong, you get the heat of it...
