[Foundation-l] [Announcement] Executive update

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
I wish the board strength and wisdom. Taking up these added tasks must 
be a burden given that there is already so much on your shoulders. I 
wish Kat fun fending off all those who will try to find out what the 
secret mission is that she and her cabal are embarking on..
Thanks,
    GerardN
