Dear friends:
Now that I am back home, I want to thank you all for your nice words. This
has been a long journey, but I believe that we finally arrived to a safe
place. I have a lot of confidence in Christophe and Maria, and of course,
in Katherine's leadership. Let's commit to support and help them in this
new phase in the Wikimedia Foundation's history.
Un fuerte abrazo,
Patricio

Patricio, many many thanks to you for having kept your
cool during the
hard times. Thanks to you and Frieda for services rendered, and on to
time off from Wikimedia mandates (it's kinda cool, you'll see).
Congratulations to Christophe and María.
And hugs all around.
:D

Thank you to Christophe and Nataliia for taking
on these new and

responsibilities. And thanks to Christophe and
Maria for taking on the
Chair and Vice Chair roles.
I also extend my thanks to Patricio and Frieda for your service on the
board including the time that Patricio has served as Chair. Thank you as
well to Alice for her service as Vice Chair.
