[...]I thought the same thing. Also, to tell the truth, I think that in Incubator, there need at least two or three persons who have real power. (One Chair and two Vice Chair?)
Why would we need more people with 'real power'? Or, more importantly, what powers do you see that others should be able to wield aswell?
:/
I really hate to keep harping on this, but the whole idea of the PMC Chair having "power" somehow implies that the PMC itself is under the "whim" of the Chair. Yes, the chair has the ultimate responsibility for the PMC, since the board has delegated their authority to him/her. Yet the PMC would gripe and complain if the board "told them" how to operate. If people are looking for some PMC Chair authority figure to "do things" for them so they can follow lemming-like wherever he/she says, then I'm glad I'm resigning as chair, because that's not *my* vision. And it's certainly not been my experience with any other PMC I've been on.
