<p class="MsoNormal">Dear European GBIF colleagues, <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">In an informal way I already notified some of you.... the Dutch GBIF Node, NLBIF, will face some changes in the very near future.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Because of several developments within my board the connection between NLBIF and our host institute, the University of Amsterdam, shall be terminated.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am employed by the University of Amsterdam and my contract is ending. This is actually the right time for me to make a move and by the end of this week I’ll officially finish my position as Node Manager of NLBIF. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">At this moment it is not clear who will be the new host of NLBIF or what about my succession, but I trust those matters will be solved soon. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Obviously I want to thank you all for the pleasant and good cooperation I experienced with all of you in the last decade.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is quite a job to get the European cooperation going within GBIF but we certainly made good progress….<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wishing you all the best, keep up the good work, and do enjoy the regional meeting in Lisbon next year!<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ll remain connected to the University of Amsterdam and can still be contacted on my UvA mail for a while, just in case.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">All the best to all of you!<o:p></o:p></p>
