First of all congratulations to all candidates, it's hard to put your name
forward, it takes courage and time to write a candidacy.
I also want to thanks Christophe for his 3 years term.
And last but not least, Nataliaa and Shani, I wish you all the best for
your role as Trustees (and congrats for being elected!).

thank the current board members who have been
bold and launched this
process. I also thank the election facilitators who have worked
restlessly
to make this happen. Thanks to candidates who
have contributed to a
productive, engaging exchange of ideas with community members.
The election of Nataliia and Shani is of course wonderful.
Congratulations!
From what I can tell, the Brazilian community
--which has gone through
such
a hard period in recent times-- is wholeheartedly
celebrating for you!
Cheers,
João
