Dear all
Early today, WM Hong Kong had a board meeting, and decided some minor change
to the Directory
As* Johnny Cheung* handed in his resignation from Director & Commissioner
for Outreach,
The board had approved his resignation, which effective immediately.
The board then elected *Rover Wong*, to succeed Cheung's Posts. And he swore
in as director immediately.
Rover was originally the Admin Assistant for Outreach, who had years of
experience in Online Community management,
especially local online forum, before becoming a wikipedian & the Admin
Assistant

I think in this part, what we can do, I think, is experience sharing, which
the 1st stage goal of our future cooperation. Of course in long term we can
really do thing joint-chapter stuff physically.
