Thank you Pavel for your service to the projects and your time spent at WMDE. I hope you choose to stick around the Wikimedia projects moving forward, even if in a somewhat lower key role than you reviously held. Five years is quite a lot of time - and stress - for someone to hold an executive directorship of an organization undergoing such rapid growth and change.
Best wishes, Kevin Gorman

Dear all,
Pavel Richter has been Wikimedia Deutschland’s Executive Director since 2009. Over the course of the past five years he has established an organizational structure that serves as a solid basis for Wikimedia Deutschland’s free knowledge mission.
For quite some time the Supervisory Board has been striving for a different strategic course for Wikimedia Deutschland, which will be illustrated by the strategy paper to be introduced at the coming general assembly. The Supervisory Board has come to the conclusion that it will not be able to implement this paper with the current Executive Director. Thus, the Supervisory Board and the Executive Director have agreed on jointly shaping a well-ordered transition.
The association and Pavel Richter have agreed on a mutual separation to take place. There will be talks regarding the modalities of an amicable arrangement. On behalf of the Supervisory Board of Wikimedia Deutschland I would like to thank Pavel for his very good work and for both the professionalism and passion with which he has shaped the development of Wikimedia Deutschland.
Nikolas Becker for the Supervisory Board of Wikimedia Deutschland
