As a spokesperson of our family I can confirm that at this stage there are
no plans to move away from our current place of residence near Frankfurt,
Germany.

Better watch out! From what I've heard she's not even scared by board members...

I've heard that before from Wikipedians. However, it does not match
with what communication professionals keep telling me. Even larger
companies with solid communication departments are usually not in a
place to spend enough ressources to correct their articles beyond
basic facts. Many of them tried (directly and/or through talk pages)
but gave up at some point. For companies engaging with Wikipedia can
be terribly time-consuming - especially if they want to do it right.

Cheers,
Arne

That's correct. The transition took place at the end of the meeting on
July 11th. We didn't want to leave a legacy of too much unfinished
business (some resolutions had a history that started long before the
new board members were selected), while allowing Alice and Patricio to
get used to their new roles.
