I am leaving the coordinating functions within the Editorial Board and transferring them into younger hands. Klaus Diedrich, head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Medical University in Lübeck, Germany, will take over. All the other Board members will—for the time being—stay in their functions. I am indebted to their sympathy and their support over the many years. The new Coordinating Editor, Klaus Diedrich, has my professional blessings and I am wishing him well, be prepared to assist in the near future by staying on as an Editor Emeritus of the Editorial Board, however, the final decisions in all daily matters will be taken by Klaus Diedrich from October 2010 onwards.
