Dear all Thanks for all your messages to Stevie, which I will forward to his personal email address to make sure that he gets them. I'm sure they will be much appreciated.
Andy, I totally understand your concern at the gap between Stevie's departure and the announcement, however it was agreed with Stevie that he would be the one to let everyone know. Plans for his replacement have been on hold while we were awaiting the FDC's recommendations for our annual grant from the Wikimedia Foundation; however I'm now hoping to advertise for a new Communications Co-ordinator in the new year. This post will be at a lower level than Stevie - mainly for financial reasons - and will have a slightly different emphasis. The advocacy work that Stevie was managing brilliantly will now be led by me, but will also involve staff from our programmes team as well as an advocacy working group that is being set up. I don't know specifically what your questions were about the restructure and clearly that took place before I joined WMUK on 7th October, however I can certainly try to answer these if you let me know your concerns? You're welcome to contact me directly on lucy.crompton-r...@wikimedia.org.uk, or via this mailing list if you'd prefer.
