Dear all, I would like to inform you about my resignation from the Executive Board of Shared Knowledge, effective from 1 July 2019.
After spending almost ten years on the boards of Wikimedia Macedonia and Shared Knowledge with the last five years as president of Shared Knowledge, this was a difficult decision for me but, in order to allow the organisation adapt to the ever-changing environment in the movement, it seems like the right time to make this step has come. The reasons for my decision to step down are mostly personal, including lack of time, lack of motivation, and hunger for new challenges. To give a better insight of my board experience, I can effectively divide it to two different but related periods: the first five years spent as a board member of Wikimedia Macedonia as a passive chapter were marked by extensive learning about the movement and the programmes of the other chapters with a limited amount of educational activities; the second five years spent as president of Shared Knowledge as an active user group were marked by executing the learning into practice with several programmes abundant with projects and events. The exact meaning of my resignation is, however, not retirement from the movement but rather a substantial reduction of the time spent on some activities. My future plans are to remain active in the movement in other capacities. I would like to thank you all for the collaboration so far and express my hopefulness to extend it in my non-presidential role from now on. I will not leave this mailing list and will continue following the news from the movement. Best regards, Kiril Simeonovski Chair of the Executive Board of Shared Knowledge _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
