-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Please let me add my voice to the choir of thankful voices to Rafik :) Thanks a lot for your great work, for welcoming Article19 in the NCS and helping me/us find my/our feet here. I've enjoyed your North-African passion combined with Japanese precision. You have been crucial for making the work on the CCWP-HR possible. And I am very much looking forward to continue to work on that with you. As Tapani said during the meeting with the board, he has big shoes to fill, but I am sure he will do a great job. It's a pleasure working within the framework of the NCSG with so many capable and knowledgeable people around.
