Dear colleagues, dear friends, So many of you showed me generous affection and appreciation last week in Bucharest at RIPE91, as I stepped down as Vice-Chair of our wonderful RIPE community, and handed over the responsibility to Anna Wilson. I want to thank you all, and to wish Anna and Mirjam every good wish for their term as RIPE Chair Team. I am sure that their term will be challenging, rewarding, and good for us all.

As per our discussions in Bucharest, you have done an amazing job as vice-chair over your tenure and indeed have always done great work for the RIPE community long before you were vice-chair! Many thanks for all your dedication and commitment.
