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!).
