[Wikimedia-l] Info: Markus Glaser is elected Chair of the Wikimedia Chapters Association Council

[Lodewijk]

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...

Best,
Lodewijk
