The World Allstar Federation’s executive director steps down
Some context to understand what we’re talking about:
Back in May last year, a new independent organization called the “World Allstar Federation“ was announced. Here’s some of what we wrote about it in the newsletter:

The executive director is now stepping down from his role, which was announced on Facebook:
