Agreed. Some of which I think are for the Incubator PMC to impose on itself
as necessary, but don't effect the structure of the PPMC.

I agree. Plus I would add that successfully incubated projects enhance the
Foundation.

I disagree. I believe that with the PPMC structure in place, we should hold
the PPMC accountable, just as every PMC is accountable. We need to ensure
that the PPMC members are well aware of the responsibility of the PPMC, and
that it is accountable. I think that instilling that sense of
accountability there from the beginning is important, and that installing a
designated taskmaster as I feel you describe it would be counter-productive.
We do need to make sure that the PMC is aware of any issues, but I believe
that between Incubator PMC members being intimately involved on the PPMC,
and reports from the PPMC, I believe we have that covered.
