Actually, I read Incubator e-mail pretty much every day.

I'm voicing an opinion, backing it up, and taking the issue to the Board for
their input. If I really expected to "run the whole show [my] way", I
wouldn't make sure that as much as possible is delegated and distributed to
the PMC, and I would be much more vocal. Personally, I believe that the
Incubator runs smoothly precisely because of that delegation.
In the specific case of Joe's experiment, I would have voice my opinion
earlier, but was away. Please note that, as an Incubator PMC Member, you
were notified of my schedule.

No, it isn't. The role of the PMC Chair is to make sure that the project
runs smoothly. I was very vocal during the formative days of the Incubator,
and speak up when I've something to say. Otherwise, I am quite happy to see
others stepping up and staking a role in the Incubator.
