I just saw a very crisp statement that applies here too:
Apache Chairs are not Executives.
The Incubator Project is in the process of taking nominations and discussing
replacement of their current Chair, which their practice is to have on a
12-month cycle. You can see the quote in context at
<http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201501.mbox/%3CCAAS6%3D7hJBPCCYxJWrfgAHApf%2ByFnbUR2vNVs-wO6J21Lmh-5Mw%40mail.gmail.com%3E>
(after you paste the URL back together [;<).

This happens. More rarely than one would think, but still I confirm that
I very occasionally received requests from the press. I simply routed
them to the PMC.

These are tasks for the PMC. The Chair cannot impose his point of view
on these matters. The PMC can surely agree to delegate these tasks to a
person (who may or may not be the Chair) and it is the PMC vision, not
the Chair's vision, that matters here. This is why I consider this to
come later than the election of a new Chair.

Andrea.
