Disability
1) He is available the next months/year to guarantee a smooth transition, in particular the transition of web review what should ease the process2) He proposes to speak about this during the GA himself.3) He indicates the wish for a closer co-operation with the board, making sure that board members advertise for authors and using the journal as a source to get new members. This might be done by inviting the editor in chief to one board meeting or at least nominating an according contact person (role) in the board.4) The board should provide an opinion on braodening the scope of the journal beyond AT as this might be necessary reflecting the state of the art of the field.
