Hey, As a member of Code of conduct committee I just wanted to express how much I appreciate your statement. The work we are doing is not fun, we are dealing with frustrations, harassments, trolling, and all sorts of the dark side of the Wikimedia movement but I genuinely believe that this type of work is vital to keep the movement moving forward, to make us more welcoming and foster a diverse environment.
All of the support I've received, private and public, online and offline is overwhelming. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
