    Hi Niklaus,<br>
    <br>
    It is true that we discussed the matter of shutting down the
    association last year. Since there were some activities in planning
    at the EPFL in Lausanne, I pleaded to wait another year. Michael Lew
    as part of the EPFL showed his willingness to take over the
    chairmanship. To guarantee continuity I have declared my readiness
    to share chairmanship with Michael as co-presidents for the year.<br>
    <br>
    From my behalf it was and is clear that I won't have much time for
    OLPC.ch. I know that Michael has some ideas, but until now I haven't
    seen something concrete. Therefore my proposition is, that we give
    Michael another year if he wants to continue and is able to present
    his plans in some details. Otherwise, we in fact should discuss the
    concrete shut down of the association.<br>
    <br>
    Best,<br>
    Urs<br>

        am unwilling to serve for another year (or more) as auditor
