There seems to be a problem with the staff at the Dutch language forum. 
Founding admin henke54 has already announced that he will  resign, I'm 
the only other Dutch speaking admin and will resign as well. The 
remaining active moderators (RPG and Johan) and volunteers (Eremmel, who 
visits the forum regularly but hasn't posted on the issue) aren't 
interested in signing the iCLA or becoming committers. We will all stay 
to help users, we just don't want the extra work or feel we're not 
suited for the job.
