</div>Thank you for the kind words - fuelled by excessive Red Bull, no doubt. I have reconsidered my decision but come to the same conclusion as before: I am not going to stand this time.<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>

You want new blood in the council, but you've to agree that some 'old' blood is also needed, in order to keep a good balance and help in the adaptation of the new members. <br>No offense for the other former and actual members of the council, everyone has his personal lives, but there's three individuals that stayed with us all the time, they were in almost all decisions that our community have done so far. I strongly believe that these individuals will be a big advantage in future councils, so if you want the best for our community, please re-reconsider your decision ;) (same for Tim and Ryan).<br>

I am very proud of the work achieved by the two councils so far; and very happy to have had the opportunities to represent the community recently.<br>
<br>
A year is a long time and, as chair, the last six months have been especially hard. I hope that Stephen, Valerio and Graham will accept their nominations and that they can continue the good work we've done so far.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I would have accepted the nomination right away if you had accepted yours ;), I'm in the fence right now, but since this community gave me so much and I really enjoy to be part of it, I'll think a bit about the pros and cons, and will have a decision in the next hours.<br>
<br>Best regards,<br><br>-- <br>Valério Valério<br><br><a href="http://www.valeriovalerio.org">http://www.valeriovalerio.org</a><br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

I'm looking forward to having 6 months off as "just" a community member, but intend on still being an active community member; membership of the council isn't a requirement for that :-)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
