> Process aside, this is an important and significant transition. It is true that this change put into formal light a change which has happened progressively over a long time through the phasing out of my direct involvement, and the strengthening of the systems for making decisions with the Consortium, but this is a moment when a lot of that work comes to fruition. Huge thanks are due to all those who have participated in this process in many different ways. It is great to see the Consortium string after this change and also the change to being a legal entity, which also was a lot of work.
